Husband and wife management team John and Ann run U-Fit, Coventry’s third biggest double glazing company. They have big plans to become super rich, but unfortunately their sales team aren’t quite on board. Basil, the Zimbabwean motivational guru they’ve hired to motivate the force certainly has their work cut out for them. Their salvation is pinned on Michael Handel, hired in the hope he’ll turn out to be the super sales man of John and Ann’s dreams. But when, on his first day, he asks for time off for the World Othello Championships, they are not impressed. If you’ve missed the cult BBC TV series, nows your chance to see what all the fuss is about.
