Episode 1 • Feb 24, 1976
A new version of the old hit 'Broadway Annie' is in pre- production and three actresses, Devonia 'Dee' Rhoades, Anna Wynd and Nancy 'Q' Cunard de Longchamps are all vying for the lead role. Dee used to sing with rock group Economical Pancake, Anna is a classically trained actress, while 'Q' is currently working as a porn star. Anna eventually wins the role while Dee and Q are cast as her sidekicks.

Derek reveals that it has been a dream of his to produce the worlds best ever girl group but none of the women are sure that they even like each other! Derek plays a song that he wrote: 'Stairway'
