Chandon Pictures

Tom is not at all pleased at the prospect of making yet another wedding video, this one commissioned by the families of sexy, baby-voiced Sherbert and guileless David.

Tom is stunned and excited to receive a visit from his high school classmate, the lovely Samantha Howarth (Justine Clarke). Now an administrator at their alma mater, Samantha needs Tom's help for the school's upcoming Careers Day, when successful alumni offer advice to the student body. Tom is elated until he realizes Samantha doesn't want him to speak at the event she wants him to videotape it.

Chandon Pictures is having serious cash flow problems and its offices are plagued with termites. Carmichael lines up a potential contract for Chandon making training videos. Lucy and Rick like the idea, but Tom bristles at the idea of selling out. Reverend Bevan arrives with a worshipful acolyte named Gabby (Andrea Wallis) and a proposition for Tom: become the official videographer of "One God."

Dog-owner Helen McDonald (Penne Hackforth-Jones) comes to Chandon Pictures hoping to transfer photos of her beloved pup, Champion Charles Wink Monte Carlo to video; thanks to Lucy, she walks out having commissioned a tribute film to her canine companion. It may not be the hard-hitting truth-telling filmmaking Tom is accustomed to, but the money's good.

Tom combines sleuthing with filmmaking when an old friend, Andrew (Michael Denkha) hires him to surreptitiously videotape his wife Annabelle (Jessica Napier), whom he suspects of infidelity. As Lucy, Carmichael and Nick gather to discuss the bank pitch, Tom refuses to participate and declares that he will focus on the big picture: making his documentary about breakaway priest Bevan.

Spirits are high at Chandon Pictures, with the arrival of former Chandon Pictures client Helen McDonald as executive producer and chief investor. But there is more to Tom's relationship with Helen than meets the eye. Chandon's latest client is John (Graeme Blundell), a cancer-stricken accountant who wants to videotape his last will and testament.

Nick threatens to resign unless Tom gets the corporate job with Carmichael's bank. Pest expert Dean (Gary Wardell) arrives to deal with the infestation at the Chandon house, bringing with him some bizarre theories about termite psychology. Tom finally meets Eddie Connoly (Peter Phelps), producer of "Cash Cash Cash" and other hit game shows.

A newspaper article exposes seamy goings-on at Bevan's church; as the only person with footage of Bevan's fledging sect, Tom is in the catbird seat. With a contract seemingly imminent, Tom is ready to turn down a job making an audition tape for stand-up comedian Shane (Anthony Simcoe). But he recognizes a kindred spirit in Shane, who toils by day in desktop publishing.
