Episode 1
Richard has been re-elected but has done little to improve his relations with his constituents, whom he reviles and fears in equal measure.
On the campaign trail MP Richard Fallon's PA Genevieve set him up with a publicity 'girlfriend' to help him look less tragic. Though little more than a demure prop, the ruse seems to have worked. Unfortunately the girlfriend - who in reality looks like she's from a rock band circa 1976 - is now claiming they are engaged and making demands which Richard is finding it impossible to meet.
