Series 3, Episode 2 - Winner
Lee is insufferably smug when he wins £1,000 in a writing competition with an essay entitled 'Disability in the Workplace'.
Further details

Lucy is moved to tears when she reads the essay and had no idea that Lee was so sensitive. Tim, however, is more sceptical and with good reason, because when a journalist turns up to interview the winner she is expecting to meet a disabled author.
