New Directions in Applied Mathematical Modelling

Following on from Charlotte Cory's 'Thinking of Leaving Your Husband', this romantic comedy series explores the perils of internet dating for the middle-aged man.

In Episode Three, Professor Tony (Henry Goodman), a recently-widowed professor who teaches in the University Mathematics Department of "East Greenwich and Lewisham Combined", goes off to Norway to deliver a lecture on the mathematical basis for social interactions - based on his own research dating prospective partners from the internet dating website findtheperfectpartner4u.com.

But where women are concerned, Tony finds Norway no less dangerous a place than England - particularly when he wakes up after a short nap to find a naked Russian student in his bed.

The student, and all of Tony's dates, are played by Lia Williams.
