Is it possible that somewhere out there a perfect partner exists for each of us? Alice Chenery thinks so, as she returns for a second series of Love Soup, still unattached and undaunted in search of her perfect partner.

Created by David Renwick, Love Soup, starring Tamsin Greig as Alice, takes an entertaining and provocative look at one woman’s search for sanity, sex and a soul-mate, as Alice continues to navigate the treacherous waters of love, in a world where sense and sensitivity seem to have become largely unfashionable.

An account manager for a major French perfume company in a London department store, Alice’s daily workload is complicated by the varied, and often bizarre, erotic exploits of her colleagues Cleo and Milly.

In the first episode of the new series, Cleo struggles to cope with a scathing review of her performance in bed, Milly finds she is strangely turned on by a man’s shadow and Alice has more to worry about than the amorous intentions of her driving instructor. Her predatory regional manager, Catherine Sumpter, is in town and Alice has been summoned to a mysterious meeting in her hotel room, where a distinctly potent threat of sexual harassment is in the air …

Cleo is played by Sheridan Smith and Milly by Montserrat Lombard.
