Jean Price MP is new to the House of Commons and not yet familiar with its ways – she's also desperate to get home in reasonable time for her husband's birthday.

Jean feels that the time has come for her to make her first speech in the house. She also feels the pressure to make it a good one – but could that be a big mistake?

Jean is lucky enough to get a rare opportunity of a Bill before the house – but which should she present? Will compulsory créches prove too controversial; or just too boring?

Jean raises a storm and Godfrey raises money when the House of Commons discusses drugs.

Jean investigates the case of a prisoner who claims he was otherwise occupied at the time of the crime.

With rumours flying around the House, Jean is faced with accusations of an affair with her young secretary, and the possibility of resignations within the party.

Jean challenges Richard to live on income support alone for a fortnight. He counter-bets that she can't turn £50 into £60 of her own accord.

Jean struggles to deal with a constituent's complaint against apparently reckless NHS behaviour. Meanwhile, another of her electors is fighting to claim disability allowances, despite losing half of his leg.
