Set in the head office of a supermarket chain called Butterworth's, Monday Monday is a modern comedy drama about a group of workers rising to the challenge of relocating to Leeds in a world of thrusting new management and where the PAs rule the roost.

Determined to hold on to his job, company man Roger Sorsby is the Chief Executive of the company. He has worked there all his life, with the very loyal support of his assistant Jenny.

Roger finds his position under threat by the appointment of a young and highly ambitious Chief Operating Officer, Alyson Cartmell, who seems determined to make it to the top. Alyson's relationship with her handsome PA, Steven, however, is more than just professional.

Heading up Human Resources is Christine Frances. Self-appointedly and terminally single, Christine is struggling to find inner happiness and seeks solace in booze.

Christine's PA Sally is trying to rebuild her life having been dumped by her fiance, who ran off with her sister.

Sally lives with flatmate, Natasha. Best friends from school, Natasha is also a PA and in search of the perfect man.

Max Chambers is the hard-nosed Head of Marketing determined to make a name for himself, aided and abetted by his PA Vince.
