Episode 3 of 4

Comedy sequel to Twenty Twelve. The debate about the future of the 麻豆社 is not helped when Ian Fletcher's salary comes under intense scrutiny in the press.

A month into his job as head of values and Ian Fletcher is still trying to find somewhere to sit. But there are more important issues to get to grips with - not least the director general's desire to shape the debate as to what the 麻豆社 is really for.

Anna Rampton already knows what it's for and, in a thinly veiled move to further her own career, advocates moving Songs of Praise to radio, thus freeing up a prime slot for her own series, Britain's Tastiest Village.

The debate about the future of the 麻豆社 is not helped when Ian Fletcher's salary comes under intense scrutiny in the press - why should the 麻豆社's head of values be paid more than the prime minister?

Neil Reid, current controller of current affairs, is having to deal with the fallout from a blunder in 麻豆社 News coverage of the Syrian crisis when a photo of Trudi Styler was used instead of Asma Assad. Intern Will Humphries is given something important to do by the object of his desire, Izzy - a task he is keen to get right. And producer Lucy Freeman goes in to pitch Home Truth, a script she's been developing over several years with writer Dan Shepherd.

But it's Siobhan Sharpe and her team at Perfect Curve that find themselves with the biggest challenge when they are asked to refresh the 麻豆社 logo and come to the conclusion that the problem with the current logo is that it has too many letters.
