About This Program

The piece in question is a television programme presented as a single episode. Its genre is listed simply as “episode,” and the storyline centres on a night out that takes a decidedly in‑the‑moment turn. The setting is the Jockey, where a group of women have gathered for a boozy Ladies’ Night, setting the stage for the events that follow. The narrative follows Fiona, who wakes up after the revelry with a stark realisation. She had assumed she’d spent the night beside a footballer, but the man beside her turns out to be Joey Dawson. The discovery hits her hard; the expectation of a glamorous, high‑profile partner is replaced by the presence of someone she finds considerably less attractive. Fiona’s reaction is one of horror, underscoring the gap between her hopes and the reality she faces. The episode highlights this contrast, focusing on her disappointment at finding herself with Joey Dawson rather than the celebrated athlete she imagined. The story stays tightly bound to this single twist, presenting the aftermath of the drunken evening and the unexpected company she must now contend with.
