The Strip - Choose (Series One, Episode 12)

This sex in the city series revolves around 30-something Melissa (Luanne Gordon, from Interrogation and Black Hands), who has shed a corporate legal career to launch a male strip club. In this episode from season one, Melissa provides a temporary home for stripper Adam (Robbie Magasiva), and finds images of his body taking over her imagination. Meanwhile Melissa's jealous boyfriend Shane (Stephen Lovatt) is pressuring her to move in with him, her ex Glenn has a revelation about his sexuality, and her teenage daughter contemplates the best place for her 'first time'.

A cross between Ally McBeal and SeaChange in downtown Wellington.
