'''Adam Goodman (born 1st January 1987)''' is a character from the British TV comedy Friday Night Dinner. He is the first-born son of Martin and Jackie, the older brother of Jonny, the grandson of Eleanor Buller and Cynthia Goodman, the boyfriend to Lucy 2, father of his unborn child and the future uncle of his brother's unborn child. He is in his mid to late 20s and lives alone at his flat. '''Names''': Adam Goodman, Pussface, Bambino '''Origin:''' Friday Night Dinner: Series 1 Episode 1 "The Sofa Bed" (2011) '''Gender''': Male '''Race''': Human '''Alignment''': Neutral '''Occupation''': Musician '''Created By''': Robert Popper Adam is trying to forge a career as a musician but at the moment has been forced to try his luck as a jingle writer, but he hasn't had much success. In the first series, he had provided music for a car insurance ad but only a "couple of notes" made it into the final advert. He is musically gifted and can play the violin and the piano. Adam quite likes going home for dinner on a Friday, but would also be quite happy to leave after about four minutes. Along with Jonny, he is normally dragged into helping his father's latest bizarre idea. He and Jonny regularly play practical jokes on each other, like putting salt in each other's drinks, mocking each other, etc., but tend to get on fine most of the time. Adam is unlucky and frequently the butt of the jokes. His nickname is Pussface, assumed to be because of his skin as a teenager. His brother, Jonny calls him it most, and on some rare occasions his mother Jackie does too. He has a rarely active relationship life, as his family always give him the “female” talk to try to get him a girlfriend. He had a crush on a young girl called Tanya Green, who was invited over dinner one night by Jackie in a hilarious attempt to push Adam and Tanya together, but it predictably backfired. Adam also had a brief crush on one of the waitresses at an Italian restaurant called Mario's but his father ruined his chances by embarrassing him when the Goodman family went to dinner there. In the series 6 finale, Adam and his Lucy revealed to the family that they are expecting a baby, closely followed by Jonny's Lucy also revealing her pregnancy. For most of the series, Adam was single. In most episodes his father asks him if he has a girlfriend yet, or as he refers to them "females". In one episode Adam was bribed (£20) to search an online dating website for girls but that didn't go very far. Jackie regularly tried to pair Adam off with Tanya Green, a friend of the family his age, even arranging for her to come around for dinner in one episode (The Date) but she didn't seem to like him much and ended up making out with Jonny outside. In Season 6, it is revealed Adam has a girlfriend who, coincidentally, has the same name as Jonny's girlfriend (Lucy). In the finale episode, The Females, the girls come over for Friday night dinner and it is revealed that Adam and his girlfriend are having a baby. == Trivia == * He doesn't like the word “females”. * He finds his dad very annoying. * He isn’t too keen on Auntie Val’s son Spencer. * He has a bipolar relationship with his brother. * He can play the violin and piano. * He had a girlfriend named Emma, but she dumped him after seeing her sister sexting him and holding Katie's hand all through the night.
