Chris and Gary, the ultimate sitcom duo, are back with another uproarious episode of "Men Behaving Badly" in Season 2, Episode 10, titled "The Truth About Cats and Ducks." As the title suggests, this hilarious installment explores the comedic chaos that ensues when the subject of pets becomes a bone of contention between our two beloved protagonists.

In this episode, we find Gary and Dorothy happily settled into their apartment, cohabitating and navigating the trials and tribulations of a modern relationship. However, their domestic tranquility is about to be disrupted by Chris, Gary's somewhat slovenly and perpetually single best friend.

When Chris arrives at the apartment, he brandishes a cardboard box with air holes, hinting at the presence of an unusual creature within. Much to Gary's chagrin, it turns out that Chris has adopted a pet duck named Oscar. Unbeknownst to Chris, ducks are not typically considered acceptable household pets, and Gary is instantly repulsed by the idea of living under the same roof as a feathery, quacking intruder.

Gary tries his best to convince Chris to find a new home for Oscar, but his pleas fall on deaf ears. Chris is adamant in his belief that Oscar is the perfect companion and way better than any traditional pet. Gary's frustration mounts as his apartment becomes a makeshift pond, complete with a kiddie pool for Oscar's bathing needs.

Meanwhile, Tony, the charming but naive neighbor, enters the scene and reveals an unexpected twist of his own. He announces that he has recently adopted a rather temperamental cat named Lulu, who seems to have taken an immediate dislike to him. Tony, desperate for some guidance, seeks solace and advice from his friends on how to handle this feline foe.

As the episode unfolds, the apartment quickly descends into a chaotic cacophony of quacks and meows. Lulu and Oscar clash in an amusing display of interspecies rivalry, adopting every opportunity to torment each other whenever possible. Chris and Gary frantically attempt to restore order, but their efforts prove futile, only resulting in numerous comedic mishaps and misunderstandings.

Throughout the chaos, the characters find themselves questioning the entire concept of pets and the lengths people go to when seeking companionship. As Tony grapples with Lulu's indifference and Chris with Oscar's eccentricities, they all learn valuable lessons about relationships—both with animals and with each other. The storyline beautifully captures the comedic nuances of the human-animal bond, shedding light on the unpredictable and often riotous nature of these unique connections.

"The Truth About Cats and Ducks" showcases the talented ensemble cast's impeccable comedic timing and chemistry. Martin Clunes delivers yet another stellar performance as Gary, artfully portraying his frustrations while simultaneously infusing his character with warmth and genuine friendship. Neil Morrissey shines as the lovably irresponsible Chris, providing a hilarious counterbalance to Gary's sensible nature.

Caroline Quentin shines as Dorothy, seamlessly blending her role as Gary's understanding girlfriend and the voice of reason amid the chaos. Leslie Ash injects the episode with her trademark wit and charm as Deborah, the object of Tony's affection. Together, the cast effortlessly brings the episode to life, captivating viewers with their hilarious portrayals of friendship, love, and the inherent chaos that comes with being a "man behaving badly."
