& Bwark Productions Alex is a talent agent suffering the emotional fall-out from his divorce. Helen, his fellow agent, has the office next to him and is also in pain; overcome with grief from a recent bereavement. Deluded colleague Alex believes they are perfect for one another. Helen thinks quite the opposite. Yes she's slept with him - twice - but there is absolutely no way she is doing it again... Our Review: The smut in this sitcom caused some viewers to turn off, but if they'd stayed they'd have realised that underneath this there was a well-written "will-they, won't-they" love story. It was held together nicely by good chemistry and acting from the lead stars. |
