What Practice Round is about

He says he has a date on Saturday. She asks if he is nervous. He says he has never got further than a first kiss. She puts her glass down. That is how Practice Round begins, in a two-person flatshare in Bristol, at a kitchen table, between a bartender with a sharp tongue and her flatmate, who would rather read books than go out. Her offer is meant practically: five evenings, five lessons, so that on Saturday he does not fail at the door again. She makes the rules, he nods. Neither of them expects the rules not to hold.

The episode titles are the syllabus: kissing, holding, where hands go. From lesson four it is about things that were never on the list. She notices on Thursday, when she walks home from her shift faster than usual. He notices on Friday, when he wants to cancel the date and she forbids it, in a voice that does not quite hold. Practice Round is the story of private coaching where the teacher ends up changing subject.

Episode 1, Lesson One, is the conversation at the kitchen table and the first exercise. You see her explain that he is too fast, and correct it with a hand on his collar. It is a lesson, she says. It is only a lesson, he says. You can hear that neither of them believes it. What happens on Saturday, and whether he even leaves the flat, the sixth episode shows.

Questions about Practice Round

Is Practice Round on DreamyShorts free?

Episode 1 plays here on dreamyshorts.co.uk without signing up. On Dreamy Shorts itself episode 1 is free, episode 2 after a free account with Google or email, premium from episode 3. From episode 2 here you need the membership: 19.99 USD a month or 119.88 USD a year. There are no deadlines or discounts.

How explicit are the lessons in Practice Round?

Less than the titles suggest. The series shows looks, a hand on a collar, a sentence that comes too late. Lesson five is called All the Way, but the camera stays on the faces and on the question of whether she really wants to send him off. Both characters are adults and share the flat by choice.

Who has the lead role in Practice Round, him or her?

She does. The bartender runs the lessons, sets the rules and is the first to break them. He is the reason, but she is the story. If you like series on Dreamy Shorts where the woman sets the direction and then stumbles herself, you are in the right place.
