Episode 3
Caroline has found a new niche - a 'cruelty aunt' role on a local newspaper. This has met with mixed success.
Caroline tells her therapist Martha how she has found a new niche - a 'cruelty aunt' role on a local newspaper where she tells the disadvantaged to "stop bleating and get on with it". This has met with mixed success. She has alienated so many of her colleagues that she is no longer able to return to work. And to top it all her husband has returned home and appears to in the midst - completely selfishly - of a mental breakdown. Why does everything but everything conspire to thwart her, when all she wants is to the most successful and best known celebrity in Britain?
