Shelley discovers that gambling is brilliant, which leads to an interesting discovery.

It is sweltering in the office and Asif's heart is on fire for solicitor Lee Ann, so to prove he has got what it takes he goes into business selling ice pops. With Shelley's help he starts making his fortune, while Darrel is convinced he is facing redundancy and uses alcohol to cope.

Kenny draws a picture of Tania naked, but trusting Asif to hide it is a really bad move, especially when Tania is suffering hormonal moodswings.

Darrel is appointed fire marshal in time for the safety officer's visit, but becomes a little over-zealous and tries to stop Mike from keeping warm.

Shelley brings her convict boyfriend Swanny into the office for some free soup and then loses him, with Kenny getting roped into the search. Asif becomes stressed while on his own in the post room.

Tania does some proper law work for Lee Ann, but is annoyed by her constant flirting with her fella Charlie, so she starts a fire, but finds out that his intentions are surprisingly honourable.

Darrel is surprised when an office temp takes a shine to him, but the course of true love fails to run smoothly. Gloria disciplines Tania for taking too many sickies, so Tania sues the firm for discriminating against her.

Mike has to deal with Tania's case, and also with Kenny, who is desperate to leave the firm and has an interview for a dream job but is undone by Asif's plan to help him get revenge on Fox Cranford before he goes.

Kenny convinces Asif that the building is haunted by a serial killer caretaker - can he control his bladder in the face of fear? Tania's boyfriend Charlie is at a work do with beautiful colleague Lee Ann, but Kenny is suspicious.

Tania's having a bad day. 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. The post room is in chaos and it's Tania's first appraisal as supervisor. Asif is so stressed that he enlists evil Charlie's help in convincing his family that he is a top lawyer. They want him to sue the optician who sold faulty glasses to his Auntie Reena.

Can Tania pull it all together, pass her appraisal and get back on board the Kenny boat before it sails for good?

Darrel's in love. The only problem is that it's with Mike's daughter, who is hell-bent on causing as much trouble at work as possible so she can go skiing with her mates. Kenny and Tania are in love too, and trying to find five minutes away from Asif to enjoy a spot of heavy petting. With Gloria off sick, Shelley is her unlikely replacement and organises a presentation for Mike to remember.

Shelley wakes up in the office with the hangover from hell, annoys the other monkeys all day and smells terrible. Kenny and Tania's sex life is under scrutiny when Tania lets slip to Gloria that they didn't spend the previous night together and rumours fly through the office. Darrel's counter-espionage only makes things worse and his relationship advice for Asif, who has a crush on the office flower girl, isn't working. And there's a limo in Mike's personal parking space, so he's going up the wall.

Kenny is back from a week on tour with the band for which he does photos and flyers. Tania has missed him, but Asif has missed him more. Tania has planned a motivational exercise involving hats and five-yearlife plans which puts the fear into Kenny. Is this it? Work, marriage, kids then death?

Tania wants everyone to think about their dreams for the future, but Shelley can only think about her recurring nightmare featuring household chores. Darrel's life plan involves replacing Tania as postroom supervisor. And why is Darrel too embarrassed to share the contents of his dream?

Darrel's estranged dad Pat turns up doing odd jobs at Fox Cranford. Pat soon spots an opportunity to find a new home at Darrel and Shelley's flat having been kicked out by his ex. Shelley sees Pat for the unreliable self-obsessed idiot that he is and verges on the point of violence. It's a big day for Asif - if he passes his driving test he's been promised a new set of wheels by his dad. And Kenny is stressed because everyone thinks he's boring now he's settled with Tania and sets out to prove them wrong.

It's Fox Cranford's 30-year anniversary, but the celebration is a damp squib involving Gloria's homemade cake. Kenny is panic stricken when he mistakenly thinks that Tania is pregnant, Mike is on the verge ofmeltdown, the firm is going under and the icy silent partner Miss Fox is on the prowl - busting balls and sorting out the firm's inefficiencies.

Tania and Shelley decide to hold a proper party to cheer Mike up. Kenny is in charge of the food and drink and with Darrel and Asif's help it quickly goes pear-shaped. Will Mike top himself? Is Shelley pregnant? Or is it Tania?
