Josh's Mum and Dad is the third episode of the British comedy-drama TV series Loaded. The series follows the lives of four friends who have just sold their startup video game company and are grappling with the consequences of their newfound wealth.

In this episode, the group's excitement over their newfound wealth comes to a halt when they are hit with the sobering reality of having to pay taxes. Josh's ex-girlfriend Abi informs him that he needs to pay a hefty sum of money to settle his taxes. Meanwhile, his parents, who are unaware of his newfound wealth, visit him unexpectedly.

Josh is worried about how his parents will react to his sudden change in fortune and decides to hide his wealth from them. The rest of the group struggles to keep up appearances as they interact with Josh's parents, who are from a working-class background.

The tension between the group and Josh's parents is evident as they struggle to connect with each other. Josh's parents are uncomfortable with the lavish lifestyle of the group, while the group is taken aback by their traditional and conservative ways.

Amidst all this tension, one of the members of the group, Watto, receives a call from his ex-girlfriend who is in need of his help. Watto leaves the group to help her, leaving the rest of the group stuck with Josh's parents.

The episode highlights the clash between the group's new-found wealth and the traditional values of Josh's parents. It also explores the issue of taxation and how it affects the lives of rich individuals.

The standout performances in the episode come from Jim Howick, who plays Josh, and his on-screen parents, played by Angela Curran and Simon Day. Their interactions are filled with awkwardness and discomfort, making for some humorous and cringeworthy moments.

Overall, Josh's Mum and Dad is a well-written and engaging episode that explores the consequences of wealth and the clash of values between generations. The series continues to impress with its sharp writing, relatable characters, and hilarious moments.
