The Mimic

Episode 1 (1x1)

:

It's a typical midweek morning in gridlocked traffic and on the radio Terry Wogan announces that 'it's on mornings like this that I wish I was back in Phuket bouncing a lady boy on each knee!'. But this isn't the voice of Terry Wogan - it's the voice of Martin on his way to a dead-end job at a pharmaceutical company that he's managed to drag out for over seven years. But his life takes a dramatic turn when he finds out that he could be the father of 18-year-old Steven, the son of former lover Dionne Martin and Steven arrange to meet, and Martin is determined to make a good first impression. His best friend Jean thinks that his mimicry will impress Steven, but Martin is not convinced and instead decides to ask for a promotion at work. When a conversation about his career prospects doesn't go to plan, Martin decides to seek revenge by imitating his HR Manager over the company Tannoy. Finally, Martin and Steven pay an awkward visit to the DNA clinic to find out the truth. Unfortunately this only leaves Martin feeling more concerned about his worth as a father. Is he Steven's dad? And if he is, how can he avoid being such a disappointment?
