Stay-at-home Martin is driven crazy by the endless travel anecdotes of his globetrotting girlfriend, Claire. When he is unexpectantly made redundant, he starts pretending to Claire that he's still going to work. Actually he is using his redundancy money to secretly fly to Tanzania each week to fake an impressive travel past for himself. By Andrew Viner.

Directed by Liz Webb
