Ep. 1: The Torchbearer
When Mike Upchat raffles the key to his left-luggage locker at Marylebone Station, the winner wins more than just his address book, his second-best T-shirt, all his library tickets and a blind date with a cracker called Suzie. He also inherited the Upchat name, its various pseudonyms, and the entire Upchat personality!
-
Ep. 2: Spring in Park Lane
Having just chatted his way through his first challenge, Mike sets his sights higher. A chance phone call leads him to the exclusive world of Park Lane and the promise of a free meal with the lovely Shoona. But even a free meal can have its price...
-
Ep. 3: Mystery Tour
A van drivers' strike leaves Mike temporarily without transport. His simple solution is to commandeer the first vehicle that moves, even if it's a coach-load of Japanese tourists. This presents Mike with his biggest chat-up problem so far: a beautiful Japanese girl who doesn't speak a word of English.
-
Ep. 4: The Homecoming
Even when he's away from his familiar stamping ground, Mike can't resist a chat-up challenge. He takes Maggie home to Birmingham for the weekend, but almost pushes his luck too far – leaving Maggie regretting that she ever introduced him to her mum and the neighbours.
-
Ep. 5: My Fair Lydy
If Mickey Finn invites you to a champagne nosh-up down East Slapton Dog Track, you don't refuse. And when Mickey says "Make sure you bring a real East End gal', Mike sees no problem in chatting up a bird from down Hackney way.
-
Ep. 6: A Game of Singles
One thing Upchats do not do is get married. But when Mike finds himself engaged, his plan to get disengaged lands him in even bigger trouble.
-
Ep. 7: Will the Real Mike Upchat
If Mike Upchat isn't the first Mike Upchat, then perhaps he isn't the only Mike Upchat. Maggie sets him the ultimate chat-up challenge to allow him to prove that he is indeed the real thing.
