Much to Clegg & Compo's bemusement Blamire decides he wants a job and drags them with him.
After an initial encounter with a snotty receptionist in some bland office (where Clegg is unexpectedly assertive, indeed quite hostile - not that she doesn't deserve it) they end up in the clutches of the owner of "Shiny Glow". Everything about this product & its owner is clearly a con, although unless he's making his (commission only) sales team buy the product, I'm not entirely sure what the angle is.
Nevertheless the trio go off to try to flog this dreadful bit of chemical waste and the funniest part is probably after Blamire gets a face full of it and it turns him green. Back in the cafe, with Blamire unaware of how he looks, he inadvertently startles Ivy out of her newly acquired spiritual serenity!
It's quite an entertaining episode but the job storyline is probably more depressing than anything else, especially right at the end when a fair few probably rather desperate men are waiting to see the con artist bloke who has set up under another company name. Blamire leaves in disgust, knowing the truth.
