D'Arcy De Farcey, who is [[boo|booed]] by [[Audience (Roland Rat: The Series)|the crowd]] as he walks on stage, then proceeds to introduce Roland Rat (whom he wrongly calls Raynard), and Roland comes on stage. He welcomes them to [[the Ratcave]], and a [[train]] goes overhead, as they are underneath [[King's Cross station]]. He then says what's going to happen later on in the show, and introduces [[Cooking with a moron|their cooking slot]], presented by Maureen. | D'Arcy De Farcey, who is [[boo|booed]] by [[Audience (Roland Rat: The Series)|the crowd]] as he walks on stage, then proceeds to introduce Roland Rat (whom he wrongly calls Raynard), and Roland comes on stage.

Maureen begins to introduce the slot, but is interrupted by D'Arcy De Farcey, who wants to promote his new book, [[D'Arcy De Farcey's Secrets of the World's Greatest Chefs]]. He manages to sell several copies, before it is revealed that the book is in fact, completely blank. Maureen believes that it is entirely blank because they're secrets.

Kevin then informs Roland that there are more ratings, and that [[4 (number)|four]] out of [[5 (number)|five]] people in [[China]] watch the show. A supposed "special message of thanks and support" in Chinese, as arranged by Kevin, goes up on the screen.

[[Iris Rat|Iris]] and [[Freddy Rat|Freddy]], Roland's parents, sit on [[Bench (Roland Rat: The Series Series One Episode Two)|a bench]] in [[Park (Roland Rat the Series Series One Episode Two)|a park]]. Iris and Freddie then complain about Roland Rat going "Yeeeeaaah!" all the time. Iris wonders where he gets it from, then realises that Freddy does it as well. Freddy then protests that he does not, in fact go "Yeeeaaah!" but instead "Yay". Iris then wonders why Roland Rat is a [[superstar]], because he doesn't dance or sing or juggle or anything else that could conceivably be construed as things that a superstar would do. She then goes on to conclude that Roland is a superstar because he goes "Yeeeaaah!", and that Freddy too can be a superstar if he goes "Yeeeaaah!". He attempts to go "Yeeeaaah!" but fails, and Iris tells him disappointedly that he isn't a superstar. | |||
Roland Rat, back in the Ratcave, concludes that his parents are slightly embarrassing, and says that it's time for the new soap opera. Acting as their [[Official soap adviser]] is [[Wendy Richards (in-universe)|Wendy Richards]] from [[EastEnders]], who knows all about soap through working in a laundrette, whom Roland interviews. | |||
The new soap opera, [[RatEnders]], starts. Roland Rat asks [[Glenys the Guinea Pig]] to try and speak with a cockney accent, which she fails to do. In character, she then tells Roland that he is a mean and dreadful husband, as he is always looking at other guinea pigs. He, again in-character, replies that he is very cruel and ruthless, but fails to confirm that he looks at other guinea pigs. | |||
