Series 4, Episode 1 - 9½ Minutes

It's an action-packed 9-and-a-half minutes, as Jane meets blind date Oliver; Steve obsesses over 'the John Hurt moment'; Patrick decides to stick with Sally; and Oliver meets everyone else.

Further details

One bar, three different points of view, the same nine and a half minutes. Susan and Steve are now pregnant (well, mostly Susan); Patrick and Sally are discussing commitment (well, mostly Sally) and there's this guy called Oliver who has a blind date with Jane. But is his job going to be a problem?

Meanwhile, in the skies above an Aegean island, terrible danger grows.
