Under the Boss

On screen

A London office full of polished staff, with a supply cupboard stacked with company T-shirts and hoodies. Harriet starts work as a temp and mutters that the staff all look like models. The boss has an assistant who manages his diary, moves his four-thirty and hopes for a Thursday dinner with him. Then he spots Harriet. The assistant wants him, he wants the new arrival, and Harriet can hardly believe it.

Episode by episode

1. Ep. 1First day nervesno account

   Morning at the office: the assistant moves the boss's four-thirty, tells him he could not cope without her, and fishes for that Thursday table. Harriet frets that everyone is too pretty. The boss notices her, she blurts that she has admired him, then corrects it to the company. He cancels his meetings to give her the tour himself, leaving the assistant fuming.

2. Ep. 2The supply cupboardfree account

   Outside the cupboard the assistant tells herself the boss is only showing Harriet the merchandise, while colleagues gossip about the closed door. Inside, he hands over a company T-shirt and hoodie and steps out while she tries them on. Harriet asks for black instead of white, swears by accident, apologizes, and he answers that both suit her.

How bold it gets

Light for the opening pair: flirting, a clothes change behind a door and some swearing, with nothing more than strong chemistry on screen so far.

Still open after episode 2

The assistant's jealousy is only beginning, and how far she goes to break up the boss and the temp is left for later.

Names you will hear: Harriet.
