  • Summary

  • How far would you go to get your dream job?

    In The Temp, Warren (Marek Larwood) is sent to a variety of temp jobs by his recruitment officer Aimee (Vicki Pepperdine) on the promise that if he does a good job, it might become permanent. And each time, the job turns out to be more dangerous and ludicrous than advertised. Open-minded to the point of mindless, Warren never seems to notice that the job is very different to the job description - he just wants to do a good job, and get made permanent.

Temping Fate

This is a great Audible series which had me cracking up in the worst of London’s early morning traffic, which left other drivers looking completely baffled by my happy rush hour demeanour.

Can’t recommend this series highly enough Aimee & Warren are a perfect match and I loved Warren temping as Air Crew and a Getaway Driver to name a few.

Easy Listening absolutely hilarious and even better FREE 😎

Very entertaining. Very well written and worth coming back to now and again. A sign of a well written comedy.
