Richard Atlas (Chris Ellison) was once one of the top documentary television presenters of all time, but that was 5 years ago! Now he is a washed up has-been who nobody wants to hire. In desperation Richard calls on his former assistant and lover, Pippa Johnston (Sally Longhurst), the brains behind his original success, to help rebuild his career. Now, Richard would like to get back with Pippa, but Pippa likes their new assistant Ryan Benton (Mark Jones), even though she can't bring herself to commit to a relationship, which is Richards fault in the first place. Anyway Ryan has got his own problems in the shape of a mythical Griffin...!
