Don's luck was about to change as it looked like he was finally going to get it on with his flatmate, Sam. But it appears that things didn't quite go according to plan, and each day is a trial for Don as he must face up to the fact that he blew his chance with Sam. To make matters worse, she has a new boyfriend who is everything Don isn't – mature, reliable, clever and not at all self-obsessed.
