Series 1, Episode 6 - Ghost

The admin team are working late and Tania is in charge, in the concluding episode of the comedy series about the slackers in personal injury firm Fox Cranford.

Further details

The admin team are working late and Tania is in charge. She has been asked to supervise the office move while the place is being refurbished, and Mike has promised her a promotion if it all goes to plan this evening. However, things begin to look shaky when the lights start to flicker and there seems to be a problem with the electrics.

Kenny convinces Asif that the building is haunted and this freaks him out for the whole night. He's scared to go down to the basement alone in case he confronts the ghost of the serial-killer caretaker. But is there really a ghost and can Asif control his bladder in the face of such fear?

Meanwhile, Tania is getting stressed - not only has Charlie gone to a work event with Lee Ann but the team keep messing around and no-one's following the itinerary. Shelley's going through relationship troubles of her own with on-off boyfriend Swanny and fending off Darrel's advances yet again. Believing that Tania is worse than Gloria, Shelley convinces Darrel and Asif to go on strike. It's going to take something special, like pizzas and chicken wings, to save the day.
