Coupling: Series 2, Episode 8 - Naked - British Comedy Guide (original) (raw)
Jeff's rather fallen for a woman at the office, and it seems that she's keen on him too. But she's a senior partner at the firm, and just as rubbish at talking to the opposite gender as he is...
Further details
Jeff has finally found his female counterpart, a woman who can't help blurting out ridiculous things if she's attracted to someone. It seems that their mutual uselessness will prevent either of them from asking each other out. To make matters worse, Julia is a senior manager at his firm. After a sequence of typical Jeff blunders, he is in despair. Steve comes to the rescue and tells Julia that Jeff is in fact very keen on her.
Julia kisses Jeff and he thinks that his luck has at last changed. She leads him blindfolded into a conference room, and Jeff assumes that she has lured him there to have sex. He does an ecstatic strip tease. Unfortunately, Julia was leading him into his surprise birthday party. Everyone files out in mortified silence but Julia makes amends by doing a private striptease of her own for Jeff.
