The civil servants at DoSAC prepare for a visit from DoSAC shadow minister Peter Mannion.

Satirical political sitcom. The civil servants at DoSAC prepare for a visit from the DoSAC shadow minister Peter Mannion - yet another distraction for Nicola Murray.

The civil servants at DoSAC are preparing for a visit from the DoSAC shadow minister Peter Mannion. For Mannion and his team, this informal pre-election briefing is a good opportunity to measure up for new curtains. For Terri Coverley, this principally means putting on a bit more make-up. For Nicola Murray, it is simply another distraction on a day when nothing seems to be going right. All she really wants to do is get Glenn and Olly to kick-start the Fourth Sector Pathfinder Initiative. And then she gets a call.
