Hardacre’s ad agency has been nominated for its first ever award. Stars Nigel Havers and Martin Jarvis. From 2021.

It’s the biggest night of Joe Starling’s life. After a rough year, his work has been nominated for one of advertising’s most prestigious awards - an A&D Pen.

Joe, Hardacre, Amanda and Teddy arrive at the ceremony to eat, drink, and be merry – and celebrate the agency’s rise to respectability.

But when a familiar foe resurfaces things begin to veer off course, and what should be a night of triumph turns into one of recrimination and revelation, that threatens the future of Hardacre’s itself.

Edward Rowett's award-winning sitcom, based on an original idea by Edward Rowett and Robert Frimstone.
