Series 1, Episode 8 - Nothing But Flowers

Bex only wants one thing for her 30th birthday - a bouquet of flowers - but Ryan and Jack fail to pick up on her subtle hints, while Charles has too many problems of his own to notice. Luckily, Jan and Chris have an ulterior motive for setting Bex up on a blind date.

Further details

Bex turns 30 and all she wants is someone to give her flowers but nobody listens. Not Ryan, not Jack and definitely not Charles who is whimpering about some major surgery he has to have on his big toe.

Chris and Jan decide to organise a surprise birthday party and to get her out of her flat they set her up on a blind date with an old friend of Chris's called Robert.

He turns out to be good looking and considerate but recently divorced.

Old feelings are rekindled when she bumps into Ryan and his new girlfriend at the restaurant.

Meanwhile, Bex's surprise party is going full swing, especially for Charles who has brought his date.

Everyone's there - except Bex.
