Series 1, Episode 7 - Hanging On The Telephone

Chris believes she has met the perfect man - at least he will be once she's moulded him to her needs. Meanwhile, Bex has also found someone new, but his casual offer to 'hook up' plunges her into paranoia. Charles begins to fret about his dog, which lives with his ex-wife, thinking it's only a matter of time before his four-legged friend forgets him in favour of her boyfriend.

Further details

At last, Bex has met a man. He said maybe they could "hook up on Friday" but is that definite? She's waiting for a call from the mystery man and has naturally kept Friday free. When is he going to call?

Bex has allowed Ryan to use her shower while his is being repaired but he ends up breaking it and Jack has to come round to fix the bathroom.

Charles is worried about his dog, Rory, who is living with his ex-wife. She has a new boyfriend and he thinks Rory will become attached to the new man instead.

He decides to take drastic action. Where else can he take refuge but in Bex's flat?

Chris has also fallen for a new man - someone she can mould to her own needs, or so she thinks.
