Lyndsay decides to branch out into dance music. Whilst covering a club DJ gig for Topher, his first set goes down amazingly well with the crowd. Perhaps Lyndsay's new runner, Ades has something to do with it?

Dom revisits his boy band past when a butter company wants to use their only "hit" - Spread Your Love - for their advert campaign. This leads to a fight over the song rights between former boy band member, Tom, and Dom. However, Dom also manages to rekindle an old flame.

Jane contemplates settling down with her current squeeze, Joe. Will she finally leave her rock 'n' roll lifestyle behind? Perhaps not when she meets Joe's mum, played by Marianne Faithfull.

Studio guests include Justin Hawkins and an exclusive acoustic performance from The Guillemots.
