Episode 1 – The Weekend
before Freshers
Moving in together doesn't turn out to be quite as easy as Rob, Teri
and Joey had expected it to be at the end of their first year at university.
As they find their feet in their dodgy Lenton Boulevard house, we
are introduced to their new housemates, Supria, who is living away
from home for the first time, and Charlotte, a fresher from a sheltered
and well-off family.

Week One
Rob, Teri, Charlotte and Supria enjoy the surprises of Nottingham
University at the Freshers’ Fayre together. Joey misses the meeting
because he's been with his mates drinking at the Students’ Union
bar, this disgusts his housemates, particularly when he begins flirting
with the impressionable Charlotte. Joey remains with his friends all
day, missing the night out planned with Rob, Teri and Supria, who
nonetheless have a nice time together in town until their evening
is cut short by an unexpected call from the police; Charlotte has
been mugged in Lenton on her way home from a party.
