No Job for a Lady Season 1

New Labour MP Jean Price tries to figure out the hectic Parliamentary schedule and to find an opposition ""sweetheart"" so she can go home for a birthday dinner with her husband.

Jean gets advice from all sides about giving her maiden Parliamentary speech, then throws it all away as she speaks impulsively, and is sent to Coventry for her recklessness.

Jean learns about the many ways a member can introduce a bill into Parliament as she tries to pass legislation to enhance childcare in the workplace.

Jean tries to find out if toxic nuclear waste has been traveling the streets of her constituency, and runs into a maze of dead ends.

Jean agrees to serve on two Parliamentary committees, where she learns of their essential uselessness and the power of the press when a correction she makes in a proposed bill is credited to Godfrey.

Jean sneaks a copy of Godfrey's notes on health care reform and uses them against him, but is unable to back up her statements without revealing where she got her information.
