It's Sailesh's first day as team leader at Smile5.

This is a mail order catalogue company selling everything from Rolex watches to lawnmowers, from financial products to phone and broadband, from holidays to health insurance. 

And somewhere in a brown-field wasteland miles from the nearest town, it runs one of the largest call centres operating in the UK. 

This is the world of The Headset Set. 

Eavesdrop on both sides of the bizarre, horrific and ludicrous phone calls when customers call in as events unfold with company staff.
