FATHER FIGURE
SERIES 1 - EPISODE 10

Miles: Fuck!
Anna: Lovely morning, isn't it?

Written by: Amy Jenkins
Directed by: Nigel Douglas

 


Like father, like son? Not really ... Dad Jerry is sending the manuscript of his completed novel to literary agents while son Egg seems to have given up on his dream of becoming an author and is applying for a job delivering phone books. Nothing is going right for Egg - he even fails when he tries to revive his sex life by buying some erotic fiction for Milly.

However, even if things aren't happening in the bedroom with her boyfriend, Milly might just have the chance of sex elsewhere. She has to go for dinner again with O'Donnell and a client and she plans to make the most of the occasion. O'Donnell goes up in her estimation even further when he goes after a rollerblader who knocks into Milly and is gets thumped for his efforts. The skater even threatens to take him to court! An impressed Milly tells Anna about being swept off her feet and Anna suggests that her interest might be more than professional. Back in chambers. Anna gets a different kind of surprise from a flasher.

After the business dinner is over, Milly and O'Donnell really get down to business - at least, they almost do. She seems willing to make use of the hotel bedroom but he backs out at the last minute leaving a very confused Milly. She's unhappy with her relationships; Egg is unhappy with his life; Warren is unhappy because of Ferdy; and Miles is unhappily disturbed by a suspicion that there might be something going on between Anna and Jerry. There is. They're shagging.
