Jackie and Fran share a workplace, house, as well as the view into the prison next door. Together, with the two cell mates that watch them - Mat and Angus - they make two absurd couples who communicate via the radio and window voyeurism, vying for the best form of intimacy without physicality. Cast includes Jim Russell, Kate Atkinson, Genevieve Morris and Mark Wilson.
