Overview

Plus One is a British sitcom written and created by Tim Allsop and Stewart Williams, originally broadcast in 2007 as part of Channel 4's Comedy Showcase, before a full five episode series was commissioned and began transmitting on 9 January 2009. The program was produced by production company Kudos and directed by Sarah O'Gorman. It centres itself around a "record producer" (of music compilation albums) Rob Black (Daniel Mays), whose girlfriend (Miranda Raison) has dumped him to marry "Duncan from Blue". Rob's life is turned upside-down when he is invited to the wedding and feels that he must have a 'plus one' who will "blow everyone away." Cast Daniel Mays as Rob Black Miranda Raison as Linsey Ingrid Oliver as Rebecca Black Nigel Harman as Rich Black Steve John Shepherd as Paul Ruth Bradley as Laura Duncan James as Duncan Georgia King as Astrid Susie Amy as Nicola Sophie Winkleman as Abby Camilla Beeput as Amy Guest appearances Jamelia - herself Lisa Snowdon - herself Steve Jones - himself Plot Episode 1: I Do a Lot of Work for Charity Rob is invited to the wedding of his ex-girlfriend, Linsey, to Duncan James, from Blue. In his attempt to get one up on his new nemesis, Rob decides to find Duncan's first love, Jo, and ask her to the wedding as his ‘plus one’. However, he finds her in a coma, under the care of her mother who is hoping to raise money for her treatment by holding a fun run. In an attempt to impress Nicola Dare (Susie Amy) - his own first love - after having insulted her transgender brother, Rob decides to participate in the fun run himself. Doubting his ability to run 20 km, he plans to cut through the middle of the devised route. He turns up at the event with a cheque donating the greatest amount - most of which was put in from himself instead of sponsors - which earns him great popularity. However, while cutting through the middle of the route, he trips, hits his head on a log and is knocked unconscious. He wakes up with his shoes having been stolen by a tramp, and ends up getting kicked in the crotch by someone who assumes he is also homeless. A five-year-old girl catches him holding his groin in pain, and he proceeds to run to the end of the fun run, where the rest of the participants are awaiting his arrival to celebrate his generous donation. As he arrives, Duncan appears and provides a donation of £17,000, making him the largest donor instead of Rob.
