The clip starts out with 3 guys in an office, one is standing one is sitting behind the desk and one is sitting on the desk. The one sitting behind the desk is clearly the senior in position as he is sitting behind presumably his desk as well as day time drinking. Guy sitting on desk gets called out on fact insinuating that he is the one who is picked on in office. Camera is placed in the back of the room showing the ladies walking in but pans right showing the audience it's a mirror and setting up the two way mirror scene.
Camera positioned behind the whisky bottles and looking through the two way glass to show that what we are about to see with the men is less business more pleasure. Men of the office making lustful jokes further proves the point. When being questioned about the lipsticks a mirror is placed in front of the woman with her back to the camera so the audience can see both reactions. Cuts to camera in different position but can still be seen through different mirror. As the guys behind the mirror continue to crack jokes whilst more office men turn up at the scene.
Later on one of the guys notices that one of the female workers isn't really participating calling her mouse ears. The camera then does a wrap around shot starting from the back of her hair then to her face to, show off her ears. further on in clip the same woman gives her supervisor a bin of tissues which she names a "basket of kisses" whilst this dialogue continues the camera is doing classic over the shoulder shots. Her supervisor asks were she heard that and doesn’t get it when she explains that she had just made it up. This comes from the show attempting to be a piece of the era it is set in being the 1960s, almost as if the show is trying to justify its sexisum.
