The second season of Men Behaving Badly begins with "Gary and Tony," in which apartment owner Gary (Martin Clunes) has finally shed himself of obnoxious and indigent lodger Dermot, only to find that his new roommate, Tony (Neil Morrissey), is no prize either -- nor is Tony any more capable than Dermot of paying his rent on time. Episode two, "Rent Boy," has Gary trying to find out if Tony is gay, and upstairs neighbor Deborah (Leslie Ash) is falling for Tony's line about being fluent in German. This is followed by "How to Dump Your Girlfriend," which Tony tries to do from a distance -- when he's not ineptly attempting to nurse the ailing Deborah back to health. "Troublesome 12-Inch" is motivated by a rare and valuable LP record owned by Gary's girlfriend, Dorothy (Caroline Quentin), and Gary's attempts to hide the fact that he's sold it behind her back. "Going Nowhere" is an episode title with a double meaning as Tony buys a van for seduction purposes, and Gary is trapped in an elevator with upstairs neighbor Deborah. In the season finale, "People Behaving Irritatingly," Gary and Tony's flat is invaded by Tony's irritating brother and his equally repulsive girlfriend -- whom, alas, Gary must suck up to if he wants to enjoy an all-expense-paid luxury vacation.
