Highlights include hold up in convenience store, Pete's almost suicide, David's prison experience, and meeting criminal Tim Dantay, Adam literally arguing with himself.
Ramona (Spanish accent): " 'E is a count."
Jen: "Well why are you marrying him then?"
Cancer choir. Choirmaster. "Is somebody flat?"
Jen: "That's a bit insensitive. Glenda's had a double mastectomy."
But Charlie's not laughing...
David on not selling an insurance policy: "They'd probably say old age was a pre-existing condition."
Adam seeing all his work colleagues as children. Thinking he'd picked up a barista who turns out to be Matthew's girlfriend. The drama therapy session in which actors turn into his friends. Jen confronting the kid at Chloe's school by taking off her headscarf, great moment, but then it completely backfires. Just don't understand later feelings of anger when Adam and Karen get together, particularly from David, who has been massively supported by Adam.
Manchester has some very handsome buildings, bars (The Woodstock, the back of which looks like it stands in for the care home) and The Midland Hotel.
Those posters on Adam's walls e.g. La Derniere Danse a Paris, by Tony Davies, don't exist, so this is Mike's little in-joke of some sort.*
Ceallagh Spellman is pronounced 'Kellak'. (Gaelic = 'bright-headed'.)

* Nope - he hadn't spotted it. Thought it was more likely some art director's joke..
