Episode 2

Ex-con AJ started writing poetry in 1985 and is being given the chance to perform it in public for the first time - at a recital in a posh pub. Local Good Samaritan Debbie has organised the event, but every time she sees AJ he's drunk - if he blows his big chance it will embarrass them both. Twenty-one-year-old model Lillie-Jo dreams of becoming a successful singer songwriter and has just brought out a debut single. She hopes a big marketing event in Leicester Square will help it reach 10,000 streams and downloads, proving to her manager that he's backed a winner.
