Further details
Straight out of school into a job they don't want, Darrel, Kenny, Asif, Shelley and Tania are looked down on by the solicitors they work for. All they want is to kill seven hours a day and earn a bit of cash. Their team leader, Gloria, has been at the company for years. She thinks she runs the place, but in reality she drives everyone mad, particularly Mike the long-suffering Supervising Solicitor.
Darrel wants to be Mike's right hand man; Gloria wants to be his right hand woman. Mike just wants the post to go out on time... dream on!
A promotion is up for grabs which has divided the team. Asif pretends to be a hotshot lawyer to his Dad (when really he's just chief photocopier) and Tania reveals she is pregnant - but which of the legal team is the father?
Meanwhile indie kid Kenny scuppers his chances with jazz-loving brief Lee Ann, following an unfortunate altercation with a saxophone.
