Staged

David and Michael talk on a video call, initially over footage of Wales in the run-up to Christmas. David tells Michael he wants to do something new. We discover that he is in Tokyo to film an advert for cream cheese. David's stuck in an airport at a loose end, and his demands for attention are aggravating Michael.

David and Michael discuss whether Michael owes David a favour. In conclusion, he does - David took a particularly deranged fan to dinner for Michael's charity auction. David asks Michael to check a restaurant in London he's considering for Georgia's birthday. He's concerned it may smell of chickens. He also asks Michael to investigate whether the restaurant can provide various suitable party amenities.

Sifting through the rubble of what might have been, the gang try to pinpoint where it all started and what exactly went wrong. Meanwhile, Georgia spies an opportunity.

With the project paused, David and Michael try and break the standstill. Meanwhile Simon investigates a new career path, and Georgia's efforts turn to the manipulative.

With the gang reinvigorated, a plan is suggested that could turn failure into glory. But a dangerous question remains: might they need Simon?

The final send-off is upset by betrayal almost at once. But is there still a way through? And if so, what's waiting at the other end?

The Staged special features not only mistakes and outtakes, but it also reveals how the show itself was found.
