New girl Shelley joins the team. Unfortunately office manager Gloria is too tempted by cakes on the fifth floor to be bothered to give her an induction and leaves the job to Darrel. Darrel is the longest serving member of the admin team, but also the least competent, and only keeps his job because he's loyal, loves Fox Cranford and, bless him, at least he tries.

Unsurprisingly Shelley fails to make a good impression on her first meeting with Mike and things get worse when she misunderstands the concept of lunch-hour.

Meanwhile, indie kid Kenny is in love with blonde colleague Tania and resolves to ask her out with the help of some cracking chat-up lines suggested by slimy love-rat solicitor, Charlie.

But things get complicated when Tania tells Asif that she's actually seeing Charlie (and that she might be pregnant), but he is sworn to secrecy.

Should Asif tell his closest mate in the post room, Kenny, that his beloved is taken or tell him that Tania's got AIDS and is a lesbian?
