First Broadcast: 11PM Thu 20 August 2009

It's the morning after the night before, and colleagues Alex and Helen must cope with the aftermath of their drunken one-night stand.

This makes for an interesting day at CMA, the glamorous talent agency where the staff are hardly fit to look after their own interests, let alone anyone elses. And this is as true of the charismatic yet sleazy boss, Stephen, as it is of any of his employees.

Alex doggedly stalks Helen around town, trying to get her to be his girlfriend (and give him a place to stay that isn't the office sofa), but she is just not having it.

Not, that is, until she's popped to the off licence and gulped down enough wine to cloud her judgement.
