FAY Ripley plays a drunken, shambolic mess of a human being in this likeable if lightweight comedy-drama series.
She’s Christine Frances, head of human resources at the HQ of a struggling supermarket chain, holding things together only thanks to her trusty yet savagely abused PA, Sally (played by Morven Christie) – and looking as if she’s finally facing the chop when a ruthlessly ambitious management troubleshooter (Holly Aird) comes to shake the firm up.
Sally herself, meanwhile, has fallen for hunky Steven (Tom Ellis), the arrogant guy who’s personal assistant to this new bigwig – only to find he and bossy-drawers have more than just a working relationship.
A strong cast also includes Jenny Agutter, Neil Stuke, Peter Wight and Saikat Ahamed.
