Drama 9.00pm BBC2
Getting into bed with a venture capitalist is a complicated process, requiring patience, determination and a lot of negotiation. Mike and Luce desperately need Proctor Investment's financial backing but the contract the fledgling internet company has been offered is Draconian, with a "divorce" clause and a short repayment period. But while Mike and Luce fret over their future, some of Seethru's staff are having fun - well, having sex, actually. If you haven't plugged-in to Tony Garnett's fresh new drama yet, you may have difficulty keeping up - there are no heavy-handed explanations or recaps here and it's as fast as cyberspace itself.
