Roberta’s plans for a Room Next Door tour and a potential commercial could be an exit strategy from the daily grind for Michael, but he continues to cling on.

Michael’s argument with his comedy hero from last week was filmed, went viral and won him even more fans and credibility. So Roberta can’t stop herself planning the live tour her husband has yet to agree to. She is now his manager in all but name and fields approaches from comedy promoters and brands with tonnes of cash.

But Michael can’t help but cling on to his office job because he is too fearful to take a leap into the showbiz unknown. And unfortunately for Michael, Roberta’s plans hit a bump in the road too.

His office junior, Liam, is in trouble for dismantling the divisive office dividing wall that came down at the Christmas party and Michael feels bad because it was partly - or mostly - his fault.

As a supportive gesture Michael books Liam’s carpet fitter brother, Craig, to lay a new carpet in his house. But their interactions are excruciatingly awkward, especially as he is contemplating doing an advert for a betting company but discovers Craig is a recovering gambling addict.
