1. First Day
On her first day at work, Sylvia is befriended by Chris Cross, a fellow operator whose mind is more on play than pay.
2. The Saturday Shift
Sylvia experiences both her first pay packet and her first Saturday shift - when rules are more relaxed under just one supervisor. A chance call from the local barracks leads to a disastrous blind date.
3. The Teletones
Ronni is fed up with the old-fashioned music that switchboard supervisor Miss Armitage makes them sing in the GPO choir. She decides to set up an alternative-the Teletones, a group modelled on the Beverley Sisters. Dick gets the girls a booking but the date clashes with the choir concert.

Sylvia discovers that the engineers have wired up the girls' private line to a loud speaker and are listening in to all their intimate calls, including details of Pam's affair with her driving instructor Cyril.
5. Baslow 212
An emergency meeting is called when the supervisors discover that the girls have been listening in to the secret Baslow line used by royalty and top ministers.

8. Miss GPO Personality 1959
