Episodes

1. Split

30m

Following an argument, Steve and Susan split up and make their separate ways to the Temple Of Woman. The entire episode is shown in split-screen. Susan is furious; Steve is as indecisive as ever. They are both sleepless and miserable. Steve seeks solace in lager, dirty video games and reaching for the phone, Susan in a soggy handkerchief and a self-help book about soul mates, faith and why men are rubbish.

2. Faithless

30m

Jane finds herself competing with the Supreme Being of the Universe. She feels it isn't fair on either of them. Jeff has been going out with Julia for some time. But then the disconcertingly lovely Wilma propositions him in the stationery cupboard. Meanwhile Jane meets and quickly unnerves the ruggedly handsome James under similar circumstances.

3. Unconditional Sex

30m

Jeff, a beautiful woman, and an offer he cannot accept. A very nervous Jeff has arranged to have a friendly drink with gorgeous Wilma who comes clean – she likes him like mad and she wants to 'borrow' him from his girlfriend. After a spectacularly awkward, drink-sipping silence, Wilma offers him unconditional sex and Jeff is a man without the emotional software to say no. Steve inadvertently compares his own relationship to the Cold War and Sally tells Susan about a little agency called Man Test...

4. Remember This

30m

Something stirs in Sally's bedroom. It's three in the morning, and Patrick has been called out to rescue Sally from a spider in her bedroom. This event causes them both to reflect on their very different recollections of their first meeting at Susan's office party 4 years ago. While Jeff expounds on Porn Jelly and his eight thousand names for breasts, Patrick has to face an uncomfortable truth. Is there some kind of emotional thing with Sally? What if she's the one?

5. The Freckle, The Key And The Couple Who Weren't

30m

Jane's boyfriend doesn't have sex. Steve doesn't have eyes in his bottom. A quiet night in with Julia leads Jeff to a Nudity Hoovering problem. Steve is troubled by a freckle on his bottom and reaches for the Book of Death (The Medical Health Encyclopedia). Sally and Patrick have become new partner-hating best friends and possibly mole-buddies. And if all that wasn't enough, it's time for them all to meet James, Jane's religious broadcaster boyfriend who doesn't believe in sex before marriage.

6. The Girl With One Heart

30m

Sally is lonely, unhappy and unfulfilled. And then she goes and spoils it all. Susan has been redecorating the bathroom, only she's removed the lock from the bathroom door and declutching is now out of the question for Steve.

7. Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps

30m

Three eggs, three women, three possibilities. Now Sally's blurted out how she feels to Patrick and has convinced herself it's not meant to be. More importantly, she really, really doesn't want to produce a bald, noisy thing that will destroy her life - and decides to use Jane and Susan as a pregnancy control test, which leads to some unexpected revelations.
