Episode One: Set-Up Do Set-Up Dates Ever Work?
Single mum Jen (Kat Stewart) is unimpressed when her set-up date turns out to be the much older, voucher-loving Graham (Roy Billing). But, despite his age, it just may be that Graham can offer Jen exactly what she needs. Meanwhile, after being roped into an on-air dating gag, assistant radio producer Cynth (Celia Pacquola) offhandedly chooses agreeable pastry delivery guy George (Matt Okine) to be her date. Dismissing any chance of a connection, Cynth is surprised when George offers her something real.
Also stars Peter Helliar, Lisa McCune and Lawrence Mooney. Written by Peter Helliar and Celia Pacquola.
