Answer: The Sock Gap

No self-respecting woman will let a naked man in socks do the squelchy with her." Taken from the episode "Size Matters", series 1, episode 2. Then again, to Jeff taking off your socks is foreplay.

Answer: Jane Christie

Steve Taylor (Jack Davenport) is attempting to end his relationship with the vivacious Jane Christie (Gina Bellman) but she refuses to accept it. We are given the impression that he has attempted to end this relationship several times in the past, only to be seduced by Jane at the last moment. Jeff Murdoch (Richard Coyle) terms her 'unflushable' in typical 'Jeff' style. It is during such a seduction that Steve meets Susan in the ladies' toilet and asks her out. It is not the first time that they have met, but the first time that Steve remembers. Somewhat surprisingly, given the circumstances, Susan accepts.
