Alice Chenery (Tamsin Greig) and Gil Raymond (Michael Landes) would make a perfect couple. They have the same likes and dislikes and they share similar beliefs. The only problem is the fact that they never quite manage to meet one another.
Alice manages the perfume counter in a London store, assisted by Cleo Martin (Sheridan Smith) and Milly Russell (Montserrat Lombard).
At the beginning of the second series, Alice has arranged a date with a man she's never met. He doesn't turn up and she later finds out that he died of a heart attack before he could meet her. We learn that the man in question was Gil.
The theme tune is "Alley Boogie", sung by Georgia White.
