"The clock ticks. The rain pelts down. The heaters don’t work. The phone rings. The in-tray overflows. Clipboards and circulars rule. And there’s a promotion to be had.

This is life in the public service. Ahem. John, Hugh, Jim, Michael and good old Beryl. We follow the lives of those forced to work together on a daily basis in a job that none of them likes."
