Overview
Helen is a dog-lover in the twilight of her life. Chandon Pictures have been hired to film a documentary on her Corgi, Champion Charles Wink Monte Carlo (or Winky for short) and it's to be a canine tribute to the dog she loves so much. Tom knows full well this is not going to be his next claim to fame, but the money's good and it's an easy job. However it's really not that easy getting what they want from interviews with Daphne, owner of Daphne's Dog Grooming Service, and Helen's daughter, Maggie — and it gets tragically worse when it comes to filming the star of the show, Winky. Meanwhile, Tom has a coffee with Zoe, who worked with him on 'Bonzo: The Clown That Killed a Child.' Zoe is now the Associate Producer to Eddie Connoly's Northern Lights, the king of game shows. Eddie has a desire to make a doco and Tom is desperate for an introduction.
