Episode 2
James Golspie has transformed life at Twigg and Dersingham. Everyone has had a raise and Turgis is in love. With Marcus Brigstocke.
The fortunes of Twigg and Dersingham, Purveyors of Fine Veneers, of Angel Pavement London EC1 were foundering , until the mysterious James Golspie walked through their door.
Bearing a swatch of high quality samples from the Baltic at rock bottom prices, he has given the firm his sole agency on a commission only basis.
Overnight the firm's fortunes are transformed. Orders pour in from every quarter, wages are raised and, in this heady atmosphere, love blossoms.
Let us hope Mr Golspie and his veneers are the genuine article, for it's 1930 and it's very cold out there.
