Meanwhile, Bunny is still on a mission to bed cute Scott from next door.

Press

Jessica Knappett's comedy about three skint housemates returns for a fourth series on filthily good form. Meg (Knappett) is disgusted to find she's dating a gentleman, Bunny is convinced she's psychic and Laura starts a new job flogging broadband, which offers up a sea of eligible men. The action comes together in a disastrous Halloween party, complete with sexy outfits, a gloriously tasteless seance and the appearance of handsome neighbour Scott.
