Seasons
1. Flaunt It
We meet Colin at the end of what has very clearly been a very long evening spent in the company of Jen's friends. He's none too excited with the friends have a going away party shortly afterwards but perks up when he overhears an editor, John Langley, saying he is looking for new writing talent. Opportunities to present himself as a potential talent to Langley are plentiful but he blows each and every one of them.
2. Time Out
The long, wet Summer has Colin thinking about warmer places. He needs a holiday, but will he let himself take one and enjoy it?
3. Enough
After yet another binge with his best mate Des, Colin takes his Doctor's advice and cuts down on his unhealthy lifestyle (with little or no help from those around him).
4. Pussyfoot
Colin gets a commission to write a short story but has writer's block and an attack of a guilty conscience.
5. Back from Bengal
Colin has finished his story for The Langley Book Of Horror and sent it off to the publishers. Now he's waiting to hear whether or not the story has been accepted. Richard and Sarah have just returned from a trip to India. They invite Colin and Jenny to go round to look at their holiday snaps. Colin, preoccupied over his story, turns the evening into a complete disaster for everyone. Later, Jenny loses her temper with him and locks him out. When he goes round to apologise to Sarah, she gives him an ear-bashing as well.
6. Night on the Town
Colin's short story has been accepted for the Langley Book of Horror. John Langley invites Colin to dinner but the evening does not turn out to be as enjoyable as it should.
