Andy takes a new job, a volunteer at comfort support line, a Samaritans style organisation that encourages active listening over counselling. A caller asks him for help.
This is one of the most original episodes, the writing is superb, it starts off as a safe, light comedy, then turns very dark and sinister, Andy's desk becomes a very claustrophobic environment.
Pemberton is outstanding, I think it's about his best performance in the series, he's sincere and wonderfully empathetic throughout. Shearsmith and Horrocks are great too, but this is very much the Pemberton show.
The multi screen layout is original too, all in all I think this is a brilliant episode 9/10
