Episode 1: Hector’s Arrival

Bridget and Annie share a flat in London. Bridget is a fitness enthusiast and also a tough nut when it comes to romance. She receives a letter from her old penfriend in Argentina called Hector saying that he plans to visit – on that very day! There is a knock on the door but it is not Hector it is Nick, the boy next door who fancies Bridget and will not be happy to hear that he has new competition. When Hector does arrive, at first he doesn’t look very attractive. He is dressed very strangely and acts very strangely. The girls leave him with Nick who persuades him to tell Annie that her dog is in the oven, and to ride on Bridget’s exercise bike knowing that she hates anyone riding her bike. When the girls return they are suitably annoyed and decide that Hector must go. That is, until he emerges from the shower! When they see him without his old-fashioned clothes, they realise that he is very good looking. Nick discovers that Hector comes from ‘one of the richest families in Argentina’, but Hector is determined to keep it a secret. Now, both Nick and the girls are very keen for him to stay!

Episode 2: Hector Goes Shopping

Hector needs some new clothes and Bridget, Annie and Nick offer to help. Each has a different idea about how he should look. They teach him some shopping phrases, but eventually they go off to buy some clothes for him. Hector is left in the flat and decides to do the food shopping on the internet. Unfortunately he gets the numbers all wrong and far too much food is delivered. When the girls and Nick return they have each bought him a different piece of clothing … in a different style. The results are disastrous, so Hector decides he’ll go and try for himself. He returns with a stylish outfit that surprises them all. Then they get a call from the landlady: why is the lobby filled with cases of dog food?

Episode 3: Hector Has a Date

Annie is trying to find a boyfriend on the internet but is not having much luck. Hector is exercising with a fitness video but Bridget thinks she can teach him herself, much to Nick’s annoyance. Bridget and Annie go out leaving Hector to water the plants and put on the washing machine. Hector mistakes perfume for flower spray and puts the washing machine on a very hot wash. The two boys decide to see if they can get a date on the internet. They write an exaggerated description of themselves and fake some photos. They then leave. The girls return to find that the plant has died and Hector’s red tee-shirt has turned all the washing bright pink. They are furious. Annie finds that she has hundreds of messages on the computer in response to the boys’ advert. Bridget and Annie decide to have some fun and get their own back on Hector. They delete all the messages, but then send one from themselves, setting up a date. The boys are very excited, especially as the girls have described themselves as exotic dancers. However, when they finally arrive, they are wearing dog costumes! They are dancers in ‘Woof – The Musical’. It takes a while for the boys to realise they have been tricked.
