Derek Episodes	Season 1
Back To Pazsaz Entertainment Network's Derek Page Pilot A documentary crew films the activities of the workers in a nursing home. Derek, a 49 year old worker who loves his job and the people he cares for, introduces the crew to some of the workers and residents. Hannah, who runs the nursing home, is interviewed on how she got to where she is, and her relationship history. Derek and Hannah walk around outside in a grassy field and around a pond. Derek, thinking he sees a spider, gets scared and falls into the pond. Hannah attempts to get Derek to find out discreetly if Tom (in whom she is interested, and who is a relation of a resident) is gay, but the plan backfires. Hannah takes Derek to the pub, where three nearby women make fun of Derek's looks. Hannah and Derek leave, but not before Hannah headbutts one of the women. Later in the day, one of the residents dies, which greatly upsets Derek. After a memorial service, Hannah and Tom leave for a pub. Episode 2 A council official visits Broadhill retirement home because the council is making budget cuts and plans to cut costs at the home or perhaps close it entirely. The official questions Dougie's role at the home, and his lack of qualifications. He also asks if Derek is autistic and suggests that he see a doctor to diagnose it. Derek refuses on the grounds that being diagnosed would not make any difference to his life. Derek, Dougie and Kev try to raise funds for the home by seeking donations from the public in the street. They fail due to their lack of social skills. Animals from a rescue centre visit the home. Episode 3 A young girl, Vicky, is sentenced to community service work at Broadhill after stealing some shoes. While initially horrified at the idea, she is a hit with the residents, and finds herself treated kindly for the first time in her life. It is Derek's 50th birthday and Hannah organises a surprise birthday party. Kev encourages Derek to drink beer, resulting in him getting drunk and very ill. Episode 4 Dougie collects items around the home and puts together a jumble sale to raise money. Marge, a resident, receives a visit from her daughter Shelley; it is made obvious that Shelley only cares to visit the home in order to remind her mother that she was promised her engagement ring upon her death. Meanwhile Tom becomes increasingly upset that Hannah is always too busy to follow through on the plans they make to see each other. She is about to leave to meet him when she finds out Marge is sick, and decides to break her plans with Tom yet again; later however Tom enters Marge's room, surprising Hannah with fast food and wine. When Hannah leaves the room, Marge gives her ring to Tom and tells him that it is for him to give to Hannah. Marge dies that night; Shelley shows up, outraged that the ring is not among her mother's things, when Derek explains that she gave it to Tom. They call Tom, who arrives and gives the ring to Shelley. Dougie then begins swearing at Shelley and her husband for their cold materialism, and angrily demands that they leave. Episode 5 Dougie, Kev and Derek take some of the residents on a day trip to the beach. Meanwhile at the home Gill, a new resident, arrives. She is accompanied by her daughter Rebecca, who used to attend school with Hannah. Hannah spends the day with them, during which time Rebecca's narcissistic and condescending personality is revealed by a series of rude remarks and self-centered stories. In contrast, Hannah's own altruistic nature is emphasised, through both dialogue between Derek and Dougie as well as alternating shots of the group having fun at the beach while Hannah is shown cleaning, serving residents, and listening to Rebecca. In the end Hannah expresses her gratefulness for having friends, compared to Rebecca who seems to have none. Episode 6 Deon, a young aspiring rap artist, arrives at the home to do community service as punishment for having stolen shoes from a mall. The staff put together a talent show, the main event being a play that Kev wrote about the story of Duran Duran. Various residents are cast for the play, which is not shown in its entirety but which is clearly very poorly produced and acted. The residents enjoy it however, laughing and clapping loudly, to the frustration of Kev who intended it to be a serious production. Deon concludes the talent show by performing a rap summarising how his feelings towards the home have changed, from originally being uncomfortable and resentful for being sent there, to coming to respect the residents and feeling fortunate for being able to experience a world he would have otherwise never been introduced to. Episode 7 The death of Lizzie, a resident with severe Alzheimer's disease, leads the team at the home to question what life means to them. Meanwhile Derek's estranged father traces him and asks for Hannah's help with a reconciliation; however, Derek is less than keen.
