BBC One - Comedy Playhouse, Series 16, Over to Bill

Comedy following BBC weatherman Bill Onion's attempts to get back on television.

Comedy following BBC weatherman Bill Onion's attempts to get back on television after being fired. He turns to best friend Jez for help, but the situation proves complicated.

When BBC TV weatherman Bill Onion is fired, getting back on television is much harder than he expects. Maybe best friend Jez can help? Jez knows Nigel Harrington, a TV executive at Channel 4. The problem is that Jez's wife-to-be, Selina, is systematically 'culling' all of Jez's friends and is none too keen on Bill. It's imperative Bill doesn't offend Selina in order to have schmooze time with big-shot Harrington.
