Popular ITV1 comedy drama written by Mike Bullen
Invited round to David and Karen's to make up the numbers at a dinner party, Jenny is suprised to meet a rich, attractive, young businessman who clearly finds her very attractive. Robert's a pretty tasty proposition himself, not least because he soon develops some very good habits (sending Jenny huge amounts of flowers, taking her out for expensive meals, weekends in New York.) A flirtation turns into an affair and Robert becomes a fixture. The rest of the gang aren't best pleased; their loyalty will always be to Pete, and Robert's made to feel like a leper. Despite his best efforts to be supportive to Jenny, and to accommodate her son, Robert finds the relationship difficult. Jenny is demanding and dogmatic and eventually he starts to look elsewhere. After a few acrimonious scenes, Jenny and Robert part for good, and he takes his millions elsewhere.

Episode One
Karen and David are having a dinner party to entertain a couple of clients of David's: Felix Bishop, a middle-aged venture capitalist and Robert Brown, an attractive young internet millionaire. Karen has invited Jenny along to make up the numbers. Jenny assesses each guest and surmises that Robert, while reasonably attractive, as a colleague of David's is also 'probably dickless'! When she discovers that he's Felix's boss and is a millionaire (albeit on paper only), she rapidly revises her opinion. After dinner she asks Robert what it's like to be a millionaire and whether he's single/gay/seeing anyone. At the end of the evening Robert asks Jenny if he can see her again, but they're interrupted by Felix before she can reply. The following day Robert rings Jenny at work to ask her out for lunch.
Episode Two
Robert is having lunch with David and Felix and is very bored. David is waxing lyrical about his new mobile until Robert tells him 'it's a brick with numbers on it' and that his has internet access, fax, etc. He leaves to go and phone Jenny. He asks if he can see her again that night but she cuts him off. Adam is in the pub with Jenny - Pete has sent him to check up on her. Jenny says that her and Robert are 'just a bit of fun' and it's nice to be desired again. She doesn't think Robert's that bothered anyway - but then they arrive home to find her front door and gateway covered in flowers! Jenny isn't impressed and when Robert tries to call she doesn't answer. Eventually, he turns up on her doorstep in the pouring rain, this time armed only with a bunch of daffodils, to apologise. He lists all his good points and apologises for being over enthusiastic. He says that whether she sees him again or not, he thinks she's absolutely spectacular. As he's walking away, his phone rings. Jenny tells him she'll have dinner with him that night but there's 3 conditions - she chooses the restaurant, she pays the bill and no more flowers!
She picks an Indian restaurant for their dinner - it has an all you can eat buffet for a fiver and Jenny makes the most of it! She asks Robert what is is that he does:
Robert: "We
develop communication systems that utilise internet technology but via
the telephone interface as opposed to the outdated QWERTY keyboard."
Jenny: "No, sorry, different language! Don't understand. Haven't come
to terms with Ceefax yet!"
Jenny invites him back for coffee and he ends up staying the night (Robert says they could just go to bed and cuddle but Jenny would prefer to have sex if he doesn't mind!) The next day at lunch, Jenny is thinking about trying to find another new job (she's been fired from the 3 temp agency ones she's tried) and wonders about asking around for bar/waitressing work that weekend. Robert thinks that a shame as he was hoping she'd be free....to go to New York for the weekend instead.
