Soft Touch is a programme presented as a single episode, falling within the broader category of television series. Though brief, the installment offers a self‑contained story that fits comfortably into its genre. The title itself hints at a gentle, understated style, aligning with the programme's modest scope and the concise narrative structure typical of an episode format, with a focus on a handful of characters and a straightforward plot. The central narrative follows Doug, who finds himself misled by his neighbour into purchasing a water‑filtration device. Believing the deal to be legitimate, Doug goes ahead with the transaction, only to discover that he has been taken in. His neighbour's pitch appears convincing, yet the device proves to be of questionable value, prompting Doug to seek official status as a seller. The situation escalates when he’s decided to register as a licenced seller of the equipment, a move that pulls him further into a web of complications. By signing up as an authorised vendor, Doug becomes entangled in a series of difficulties that stem directly from his initial purchase. The episode tracks how his attempt to legitimise the sale only deepens his predicament, highlighting the unintended consequences of his choices. The mounting pressure forces Doug to confront the reality that his initial naivety has led to legal and personal entanglements, leaving him with few easy options as the story unfolds.
