In the opening episode, festering bookshop owner Bernard struggles to make sense of his accounts. When his dodgy accountant does an afternoon flit, a frustrated and clueless Bernard creates all manner of diversions from doing his tax returns.

And stressed-out accountant Manny becomes submerged in chill-out zone - and unemployed - after he accidentally swallows the Little Book of Calm.
