Agency chief and creative director Rupert heads into Soho to secure new and grander premises. Stars Nigel Havers. From 2018.

Welcome back to Hardacre's, the worst advertising agency in London.

The return of Edward Rowett's award-winning sitcom.

Series two ended in euphoria, as Hardacre's secured their biggest ever account - the Cosmos X10 smartphone.

Now there's a reality check, as the team realise how woefully ill-equipped they are to handle a client of this magnitude.

Meanwhile on the creative side, copywriter Joe Starling begins to doubt his ability to deliver work for an account this size, despite reassurance from his art director and best friend Teddy Beech, leading Joe to take drastic action.
