Best Man

Maggie tells a chatroom Romeo her secrets, but it turns out to be Bob. In retaliation, she gets him drunk and makes it look like she has slept with him, then tells the whole office. Meanwhile, the Director decides to try homosexuality and pursues Vaughan after Bob tells him that he is gay.

Revenge

An important client has arrived from Russia with his attractive daughter whom Bob fancies, but a spiteful Maggie claims that she and Bob and married and that she's expecting. This backfires when her family from Bombay come to visit and Bob gets his own back.

Family Values

Bob lives with girlfriends and is homeless after being kicked out by his latest. He boasts that he has a large apartment by the Thames. The Director has been kicked out too so Maggie suggests that he stay with Bob, forcing Bob to steal Vaughan’s keys to use a large apartment he is looking after for a relative.

Home

Vaughan and Briony are about to be married. Their pre-nup includes the proviso that Bob will not be best man, but Vaughan is too scared to tell him. After enduring the Director's unusual tips for wedded life, and Bob's guerilla tactics for preventing the wedding going ahead without him, will the happy couple ever make it down the aisle?

Bob reveals that he has padded out his CV with a Double First from Oxford. As the Director wants to encourage more graduates to join Gatehouse, Maggie suggests that Bob give a talk at his old university, to which the Director agrees.

Bob returns three weeks late from holiday to find Vaughan has taken over his job and that he is now a junior. Vaughan—who has taken an assertion course—turns into a tyrant but Bob plans to bring him down to Earth again and get assigned to the upcoming Rio conference in his place.
