1. Episode One

Monday 19^th March 1990

There's a refit and reorganisation at the bank, but Ned is convinced it's all a plot against him personally. Belinda's now eyeing up a promotion, whilst at home David finds himself sacked from all three volunteer roles he takes on!

2. Episode Two

Monday 26^th March 1990

Louise and Charles are behaving very oddly - well, even moreso than usual! One of Belinda's seniors in the bank invites her to a managers' social weekend; and David as her "company wife". He, however, doesn't much fancy it, nor admitting that he is unemployed.

3. Episode Three

Monday 2^nd April 1990

With Victorian Day at the bank; important local investors to impress; a job in the offing for David; and the social weekend to prepare for, it's a busy few days that culminate on a freezing assault course.

4. Episode Four

Monday 9^th April 1990

Belinda is thrown into a quandary when her position at the bank puts her in the privilege of a number of secrets. Ethically, she can't say anything - even to David - but can she risk letting people she loves get hurt?

5. Episode Five

Monday 16^th April 1990

David's about to start his new job, but wants to borrow Belinda's bank-supplied car in order to make a good first impression. She, however, is less than keen to lend it to him. At the bank, Jess and Ned are convinced Ricketts is making a pass at Belinda; could they be right?

6. Episode Six

Monday 23^rd April 1990

Belinda's growing increasingly concerned about Ricketts's intentions. Meanwhile, David turns up for his first proper day at work only to discover his office has been reallocated to a new "green department".

7. Episode Seven

Monday 30^th April 1990

Belinda and Barrington arrive in Brighton, but his intentions toward her only become more opaque - and creepy! By coincidence Louise and Charles turn up in the same hotel, whilst back at home David has trouble with Teresa and Louise's hot water supply.

8. Episode Eight

Monday 7^th May 1990

Back at the bank, David sets eyes on his new office; at least it's bigger than the space at the town hall. Charles, meanwhile, wants a personal loan, and Belinda comes to the end of her tether with Ricketts's indecent intentions.

9. Episode Nine

Monday 14^th May 1990

After just three days, Belinda's driven to near-distraction at home. David's enjoying his new job and office, but Ned's feeling the pressure of stepping into the manager's shoes. However, it seems that Belinda's letter of resignation has some unexpected consequences.

10. Episode Ten

Monday 21^st May 1990

After a healthy argument over the division of household jobs and Belinda's contracting out her share to Louise, David and Belinda head out to work. Although she may be back at the bank, surprises continue to come to Belinda: Ricketts turns up to speak to David; Louise comes into a large amount of money; and the HR department have an exciting opportunity to offer.
