Episodes

Title	Viewers	Original airdate
Aux1= 4.44 million	2007	11	15	df=y}}	ShortSummary= As the new flagship store opens, Danny is given just a few weeks to prove himself at Colubrine’s – or find a new job. His heartless colleagues relish his initial failure as he enrages a house hunting couple by exposing the husband’s infidelity, and upsets a struggling single mother already at her wits’ end.

Reception

The programme opened with strong ratings, securing 4 million viewers for the first and second episodes. That number had halved by the final episode. Writing in The Guardian, Gareth McLean called it "so atrocious in every possible way – from its dire script through cartoonish characters to music that will have you hankering for tinnitus".
