Season 1, Episode 2: Death and Nurses
4 October 2005It's Alice's birthday and her star chart, she is reliably informed, means the time is right to meet her perfect partner. So when her colleagues arrange a sure-fire date for her, what can possibly go wrong? Elsewhere, Gil is struggling to write the script for Love Soup and his efforts are hampered by several distractions, including his naked neighbour Irene at her bathroom window, a nightmare dinner party, and the amorous intentions of a beautiful narcoleptic. If that wasn't bad enough, he also has the wrath of God to contend with. Meanwhile, Alice receives an obscene text from a 13-year-old boy. However, all is revealed when he turns up one day at her flat with a very interesting drawing...

Season 1, Episode 3: The Reflecting Pool
11 October 2005Alice is "quaking in her boots" at the prospect of addressing a hall full of delegates at her company's sales conference, while Gil finds himself with the dubious honour of officiating at the opening of his neighbour, Irene's (Trudie Styler), new heated swimming pool. It's bad enough that Alice has to share a hotel room with the gorgeous Rochelle - a junior account manager and part-time model with "the personality of a pencil and a body you would kill for". But then there's the added horror of a sexual encounter from 10 years earlier coming back to haunt her in a very unusual way. Back at home, Gil is dragged off by Irene to investigate the activities of a suburban prostitute. There's an even bigger surprise in store when he discovers the hard way the repercussions of inviting a former Hell's Angel out to dinner. As events continue to spiral off in unexpected directions, both Gil and Alice find themselves facing serious ethical dilemmas.

Season 1, Episode 4: They Do Not Move
18 October 2005Alice's search for a new flat prompts her to reflect that properties are like people: just when you seem to have found the ideal candidate, there's always one fatal flaw you know you could never live without. And so it proves when a chance meeting with an old colleague leads to an unfortunate evening with an avant garde artist, and her forced complicity in some 'extra-marital semi-incestuous hanky panky'. Meanwhile, she's unsure what to make of the strangely unnerving 'aura' surrounding Milly's new boyfriend. Gil, meanwhile, has also been set up with a dream date - the dangerously erotic actress Pascal Peters, who he naturally fears is 'probably into cocaine and rough sex and game-show hosts'. The two have arranged to meet at a local production of Waiting For Godot. But, as Gil's evening suddenly takes a nihilistic turn, will life end up imitating art? To compound matters, he has barely recovered from a highly embarrassing encounter in the pub, when he's forced to confront a major sexual fantasy from his youth.

Season 1, Episode 5: Take Five
25 October 2005A young medical student has developed an infatuation with Alice. His partner is determined to nip his 'schoolboy crush' in the bud. She believes it's up to Alice to sort the matter out by demonstrating that she's not the 'mythic sex goddess' of his dreams. Unfortunately for Alice, this is just one of many problems vying for her attention. Also on her mind are some serious ethical issues raised by Cleo's love life, a highly damaging article in the store's in-house magazine and a truly bizarre revelation in her local cemetery. Meanwhile, for Gil, the road to a disastrously ill-judged sexual encounter begins when he attends a court case involving a man who died laughing while watching 'Lollipop Men' - the sitcom he very wisely quit two years previously. He quickly falls under the spell of the beautiful Vanessa. But their plans to spend a romantic evening together come unstuck in a rather cruel and unexpected way...
