Episode 2: Going Dutch

After a terrible start to the league campaign it's up to Mike Bassett to try to turn the club's fortunes around, the only problem being that they have no fortune to spend. As a result Mike comes up with the idea (actually Karine does) to do a 'Sam Allardyce' and make a loan signing. But with no money he must use that of his own without Karine knowing and so signs up-and-coming Dutch striker Ronnie Van Needlemans after watching him score several goals on a video sent by his agent. As it turns out Ronnie isn't the striker from the video but is in fact the goalkeeper. Mike doesn't even get a reserve goalkeeper to use, as an argument with the side's regular keeper, Lazlo Vig played by Adam Tedder, results in him receiving a concussion that rules him out for the rest of the season.

    This is the most underrated best written best acted pure comedy drama, it ranks up there with Eric Chappell on character and farce or slapstick. Absolute go back to when the moment is right
