Episode 1 It's 1982 when Sheffield factory worker Terry Kirke loses his job. His wife Steph, who cleans for wealthy butcher's wife Pauline Spake, sees the chance to make extra money by selling saucy undies and sex aids. Despite Terry's objections and her own inhibitions she joins fellow school run mum Nita and hairdresser Dawn, girlfriend of Pauline's husband Brian's shop boy as salespersons but lacks a venue - until Pauline, bored by her lonely existence, offers to host the party. Pauline is initially nervous but rises to the occasion when her prudish friend Bunny objects and the evening is a success. Brian and Terry are less impressed however and Steph is shocked by Terry's subsequent actions.
