The Optimist

Series 1, Episode 3 - Man's Worst Friend

As odd-job man extraordinaire The Optimist manages to be a tennis pro, a waiter, a golfing coach and a dog minder - all in one day! One morning he is out walking a St Bernard and a toy poodle for a walk in the opulent surroundings of Beverley Hills and manages to lose the poodle while helping out a beautiful Lady Golfer. He also meets the gorgeous Daughter of his employer and she persuades him not only to play tennis but act as a waiter at the evening's poolside party. Naturally chaos ensues as The Optimist finds himself pursued by both women.
