Lunch Monkeys Series 2, Episode 1 - Super-Visor - British Comedy Guide (original) (raw)
Tania's having a bad day ahead of her first appraisal as supervisor - Darrel's living in the office, Gloria's winding her up, Asif's running away to Wales, Shelley's flat-hunting and Kenny's kissing strange girls and drawing pictures.
Further details
Tania is late for work and her stress levels aren't helped when she is confronted by Kenny, who is kissing his conquest from last night. Then a disgruntled Gloria finds the post room in complete chaos. Not a great start to the day for Tania's performance review with boss Mike.
As Tania attempts to get everyone back to work she can't resist grilling Kenny about his "girlfriend", while a cool Kenny concentrates instead on the artwork Mike has asked him to do. Mike later confides to Kenny that he misses a partner in his life now his wife has gone, giving Gloria the green light to flirt outrageously.
Meanwhile, a worried Asif tells anyone that will listen about his aunt's broken glasses. Hounded by his family, who still believe he is a high-flying solicitor who will sue the opticians, Asif's time is running out and they want answers.
Homeless Shelley is flat-hunting, much to the delight of an equally homeless Darrel who jumps at the opportunity to convince her that a flat-share with him is the perfect future.
Following a conversation with Shelley, Tania thinks her chance has slipped away with Kenny so she resorts to a charm offensive, only to be blocked by Kenny. She takes out her frustration on the monkeys just as Gloria arrives to hand out the "confidential" feedback forms for her performance review.
