Nigel Havers stars, as Hardacre’s ad agency is nominated for an award.

Starring Nigel Havers, Mathew Baynton, and Josie Lawrence. In the series finale, Hardacre’s ad agency has been nominated for its first ever award. Martin Jarvis guest stars.

It’s the biggest night of Joe Starling’s (Mathew Baynton) life. After a rough year, his work has been nominated for one of advertising’s most prestigious awards - an A&D Pen.

Joe, Hardacre (Nigel Havers), Amanda (Josie Lawrence), and Teddy (Rasmus Hardiker) arrive at the ceremony to eat, drink, and be merry – and celebrate the agency’s rise to respectability.

But when a familiar foe resurfaces (Martin Jarvis) things begin to veer off course, and what should be a night of triumph turns into one of recrimination and revelation, that threatens the future of Hardacre’s itself.
