The Treatment

Colin forgets to send his treatment of his script to Alan Hunter so he phones Hunters office. His secretary informs Colin that he's in New york but agrees to fax Hunter Colin's number in work. Colin decides to stay in the office and wait for the call rather than go to the Station of the Year awards. However after waiting ages he decides to go home, the cleaner locking up behind him. But on his way out he hears the phone ring but can't get back into the office as it's locked up. He then smashes the glass in the door to get in only to find it's Trevor calling to say that Haywood Heath won the Station of the Year.

From Series 2, Episode 1. Featuring: Lee Cornes (Graham), Tony Haase (Trevor), Mel Smith (Colin Watkins) & Claire Toeman (Langley's Secretary).
