#	Title	Original airdate
1	"Yesterday's Jam"	3 February 2006
Denholm Reynholm, the technically challenged boss of a large corporation, interviews Jen Barber for a position. Fooled by her "techno-bluffing", he appoints her as manager of the IT support office, where she demonstrates a complete lack of knowledge in technical matters. Maurice Moss and Roy (no last name given), resenting having been given a manager, attempt to get rid of her by exposing her lack of knowledge and experience to Reynholm until they realize her people skills can be an asset for them.
2	"Calamity Jen"	3 February 2006
Moss, Roy, and Jen are summoned to a company wide meeting with Denholm in which he "declares war" on stress and sets up a staff seminar on dealing with stress and it's effects. Moss and Roy attend, but Jen is distracted by shoe shop and purchases a pair of shoes—despite their being two sizes too small—on her way to work. At the seminar Roy and Moss become infatuated with the "stress tester" the speaker used, prompting Moss to build his own and start a fire in the basement. Unfortunately, throughout the episode fake commercials aired for a changeover in the emergency phone number from "999" to "0118 999 881 999 119 725 3" causing problems in getting help.
3	"Fifty Fifty"	10 February 2006
After Roy has a horrible date with a woman because he smears chocolate on his forehead and it looks like poo, the story circulates around the office. Roy decides the woman actually didn't like him because women only like "bad boys", and sets out to prove his point by posting an ad that makes him sound horrible in the local classifieds. Meanwhile, Jen has been impressing the temporary security guard with her (guessed) knowledge of obscure facts and he puts her on his "phone a friend" list for Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. Guest stars: Graham Linehan as a Mariachi singer, Chris Tarrant as himself
4	"The Red Door"	17 February 2006
While Roy becomes stuck under a desk with Moss attempting to rescue him, Jen investigates the strange red door in the basement, leading to her discovery of Richmond (Noel Fielding), a lonely goth and the fourth member of the IT department. Jen discovers Richmond's fall from grace through a series of flashbacks and tries to help him, while Roy tries not to become a "desk rabbit" (a term Moss created for the situation).
5	"The Haunting Of Bill Crouse"	24 February 2006
Moss tells an extraordinary lie to help Jen escape the attention of Bill "The News" Crouse—telling him that she is dead. The story spreads, and the office gathers for a memorial. Denholm invites his friend Elton John, and Bill starts telling everyone that he was the last person to sleep with Jen. Meanwhile Roy is has garnered the attention of Judy, the unattractive office cleaner, instead of July, the attractive girl from the fifth floor, and is trying to shake her.
6	"Aunt Irma Visits"	3 March 2006
Jen's menstrual cycle (nicknamed Aunt Irma) has unexpected consequences for the office, with her colleagues all directly suffering from the associated effects. After Moss sends an email about it to everyone knows in the IT Community it incites "Aunt Irma" riots and disturbances throughout the world. It's decided that the only cure is to have a big "girly night in" with scented candles, and watching the movie Steel Magnolias, but they are obliged to go to the company "Thank-You" party, where they get incredibly drunk. Notes: The domain ladyproblems.com was registered by series producers Freemantle on 24 August 2005, but was never put into use. The episode (and the first series) ended with "To be continued", but the second series ignored the cliffhanger.

Season 2: 2007

#	Title	Original airdate
1	"The Work Outing"	24 August 2007
When Jen is asked to the theatre for a date, Moss and Roy invite themselves along, then make her doubt the heterosexuality of her date. She wonders further when the play turns out to be a production of "Gay! - A Gay Musical", during which Moss and Roy are mistaken for a couple during the audience participation segment. At intermission, neither Roy nor Moss are able to use the toilets because of an attendant, so they use the disabled and staff facilities (respectively) and are forced to adopt appropriate identities when caught. Guest stars: Nicholas Burns - Jerome, Director of "Gay! - A Gay Musical", Ash Atalla (series producer) - Rampant Gay Man
2	"Return of the Golden Child"	31 August 2007
Roy buys a new mobile phone with lots of features, but a weak vibrate setting, so Moss offers to "pimp it out" for him. At the same time, Moss is subjecting Roy to an online quiz about his general health and well being, which tells him he is going to die on Thursday at 3pm. When Denholm commits suicide during a meeting, his funeral is set for Thursday at 3pm. Before the funeral, Denholm's successor reveals he despises the IT department wants nothing more than to fire them, and at the funeral, Roy causes a scene when his newly pimped phone vibrates incredibly heavily in his suit pocket and he thinks he is dying. Denholm's successor threatens to fire the IT department at the funeral, but Denholm's estranged son—and rightful successor—Douglas (Matt Berry) bursts into the funeral and takes over the company and saves their jobs. Notes: Jen mentions in this episode that she hasn't smoked in three years before taking up the habit again at the end.
3	"Moss and the German"	7 September 2007
Moss tries to liven up his life by enrolling in a German cookery course. It turns out that the German is a cannibal, a parodic version of infamous German cannibal Armin Meiwes. The German is actually looking for someone he can eat; the advertisement that Moss answered contained some fairly important translation errors. Meanwhile, Roy is trying to watch a pirated DVD of a 'Tarantino-produced South Korean zombie movie' and after a couple of failed attempts, he volunteers to be the German cannibal's next meal in order to watch it on the cannibal's impressively large TV. In a separate subplot, Jen has to use the company smoking area whenever she wants a cigarette, and the atmosphere there reminds her of a Communist regime, in a parody of bleak and melodramatic Dr Zhivago-style films.
4	"The Dinner Party"	14 September 2007
Jen has found love and is hosting a dinner party with her new bloke, Peter File, and six of their single friends. However all of the men are unable to come at the last minute and Jen invites Roy, Moss, and Richmond to take their places. Moss pairs up with the first of the three single female friends, and the two of them inadvertantly start acting as if they're married. Richmond unexpectedly hits it off with the second of Jen's friends. And Roy learns that the third friend was once a model, but her face is presently obscured by bandages. As such, Roy can't tell if she's still as beautiful as she used to be, which disproportionately affects his decision about whether or not to ask her out.
5	"Smoke and Mirrors"	21 September 2007
Jen wears a "bad bra" to work, prompting Moss to design a new "living" bra that will never go bad. The prototype gets him booked on Dragons' Den, which Jen and Roy help him prepare for.
6	"Men Without Women"	28 September 2007
Despite his graveside promises to Denholm never again to become embroiled in a sexual harassment case, Jen's voice awakens a mighty tiger behind Douglas' fly and he can resist her no longer. After a lengthy campaign of increasingly pointless phone calls to the basement, he asks her to be his PA. Luckily Jen isn't that torn; she doesn't want to spend the rest of her life playing Guitar Hero in a basement with Roy, and once she's out of the way the boys have big plans to tick off all the things she wouldn't let them do whilst she was around. Whilst the boys are jousting on bicycles and making prank calls, Jen is struggling to fend off Douglas' best seduction techniques, but when his final appeal to her to dress like his sexy dead wife falls on deaf ears, he tries a last throw of the dice Douglas slips her a love potion he brought from a wizened sorcerer but before she can drink it, the boys arrive, Moss smells the Rohypnol and Jen turns the table on the lecherous Douglas. However despite being half-crazed by boredom without her, Moss' replacement of Jen with an answering machine is the final straw and she leaves, locking them in with the priapic Douglas. Notes: The on-screen title of this episode is 'Men Without Women', but listing magazines billed it as 'The Joy of Sex'.
