Summary
Newly-qualified solicitor Colin Lotus enters the legal profession all fired up with idealism and a genuine desire to help people.
However, things hardly get off to a flying start for the enthusiastic rookie . Having accidentally killed his first client, Colin’s legal career then takes a decidedly shambolic turn, not that it matters. In the company of dozy office boy Darren, skill-free secretary Alison, permanently infatuated clerk Bob and golf-obsessed, sherry-soaked senior partner Dick, his conduct is hardly going to be noticed.
