Further details
New girl Shelley spends her day gambling and ringing premium-rate lines using the meeting room phone where she can't be traced, as Lunch Monkeys, the comedy series about the slackers in the admin team at personal injury law firm Fox Cranford, continues.
On a trip to place a bet during office hours, Shelley bumps into slime ball solicitor Charlie, as he returns from lunch with Tania. Charlie has been trying to persuade Tania that she shouldn't have their baby.
After putting Charlie firmly in his place, it's a case of out of the frying pan and into the fire for Shelley as she runs into senior partner Mike Cranford at the bookies. Is it the end of the road or the start of a beautiful new friendship?
Meanwhile, Tania has a difficult decision at the Choices Family Planning Clinic, but love-struck Kenny makes sure she's not alone. Darrel enlists Asif's new hypnosis skills in his mission to find a client's missing cheque, but Asif's competitive streak ensures he won't play by the rules.
