Episode Guide
1
Other People
Martin Freeman stars as Greg Wilson, a washed-up child magician whose career was ended in 1986 after being publicly humiliated on a kid's show phone-in. Now in his 30's, Greg is recognised at his sofa-salesman job by a former fan and asked for an autograph, a request that sets a bizarre set of circumstances in motion and sees Greg wind up in a courtroom facing a long sentence.
2
Ladies and Gentlemen
The lives and awkward loves of a group of 30-something friends who share a house in London in 1865. Written by Peep Show's Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain.
3
Plus One
After his girlfriend Linsey (played by Miranda Raison) leaves him to marry Duncan James from Blue, Rob Black (played by Rory Kinnear) decides to take revenge by upstaging the couple on their wedding day. Written by Tim Allsop & Stewart Williams
4
The Eejits
An Irish pub band by the name of E-Z Feelin hope to hit the big-time when a former U2 roadie gives them some of the stars' old equipment. But they run into trouble when U2 want their stuff back - and E-Z Feelin's sideline in smuggling mystery packages into Northern Ireland probably wasn't such a smart move either.
5
Free Agents
Stephen Mangan stars as Alex, a maudlin theatrical agent, who's been thrown out by his wife. He has a disastrous one-night stand with his colleague Helen (Sharon Horgan) that ends in him sobbing with self-pity. The pair spend the rest of the episode engaged in an unseemly, often embarrassing, psychological tussle.
