Drifters

- Season 1

(2013)

Meg and her cousin Bunny return to Leeds, having decided to cut short their gap year trip round India.Their best friend Laura is waiting for them along with Meg's stalker-ish ex-boyfriend Mark.

Bunny and Laura are surprised after Meg manages to get a hot date while out on the street promoting a smart-phone. Laura is worried that she could have a skin disease and Bunny is suffering with self-diagnosed depression.

Fed up with handing out brochures Meg quits and applies for other jobs, securing an internship with local radio station Pennine Hits. In fact it is also doling out leaflets in a silly costume but then she gets the chance to be the studio intern, albeit the butt of sexist jokes from morning DJ Paul and his LOL Squad. Meg actually gets to join them in a broadcast but gets carried away by her efforts to emulate their laddish humour and the internship ends, landing her back on the streets with Malcolm.

When Laura and Bunny learn that Meg has been celibate for twelve months they decide she should get a lover and, as a dry run, Bunny fixes her up with her old university contemporary Sweaty Tom. Meg knows she is punching below her weight with Tom but her attempt to seduce him goes awry since he is only interested because he thinks she is a Lesbian so she kicks him out. Meanwhile, to the others' horror, Bunny believes she has found true love with the elderly Hugh but the romance is punctured when she realizes that he is her old primary school teacher.

Whilst Bunny enjoys endless sex with hairy, half-naked Cillian Meg meets a new friend, Lesbian Ellie, and invites her to her brother James' twenty-first birthday dinner where inevitably everybody assumes that Meg is gay and Ellie her girlfriend. The group moves to a burlesque bar where Laura pulls footballer Rick Henderson and Meg tells Ellie she is straight, not that Ellie cares because her real crush is on Bunny, who is not unresponsive. Laura meanwhile sees her dim boyfriend Gary in a new light after he nuts Henderson for insulting her.

Behind with the rent the girls agree to give out fliers for the Nineties Night Mark is organizing at a local club. Meg goes along to it and is very impressed by Mark's handling of the evening, so much so that she proposes to him but soon regrets it. However he calls her bluff before deciding that he would prefer rent money to marital bliss. Bunny meanwhile takes on modelling work, which turns out to be posing half-naked for the salacious Davide though she does make a profit and is pleased with the finished product.
