Losing the Plot

Episode 1 of 4

Timid Edward faces mindless bureaucracy when applying for an allotment plot. Starring James Fleet. From March 2011.

Bashful Edward passes a local allotment and speaks to an attractive female allottee.

He decides there and then that he must apply for a plot. But doing so involves an interview with ferocious site manager Bernie, who runs the allotments with military rigour.

It's all looking unlikely until Edward reveals that his father was a local landscape horticulturalist, one Bernie has admired all his life.

Edward joins the site. And it is only then that he springs a surprise on Bernie. One that leads to explosive confrontation.

Which of them will lose the plot?

Starring James Fleet.
