If a Job's Not Worth Doing

Episode 3 of 4

Can apathy salve Simon's conscience, or must he simply accept that he loves selling arms? Stars Darren Boyd. From April 2009.

Simon is totally convinced that he is in the right job and has a duty not only to stay there, but to do his job sloppily.

His reasoning for this is that if he wasn't there doing the job badly, then someone else would be doing it well and that would be a much worse scenario.

Then he has the awful, soul shattering realisation, and one which is something every person in Britain would be ashamed to admit, that he actually loves his job. Boris of course is in heaven at the thought of a soulmate at work, but Simon decides the only way he can go on is to learn to hate again.

Starring Darren Boyd.

Laurence Howarth鈥檚 black comedy of modern morality.

Simon is essentially a nice man who also happens to be an arms dealer.
