Episode 1
Getting Paid and Getting Laid
Twenty-two-year-old Daryl arrives from Nottingham knowing that over the next week he's the most likely of his friends not to find romance. But will his change in tactics deliver the encounters that he craves? 'Getting paid and getting laid' is the motto of the 400 or so Brits who work on the island through the whole season. Some sleep with a few; one is said to have bedded more than 100. But while promiscuity is very much accepted, monogamy is unforgivable, and on the workers' regular 'booze cruise', an unusual punishment is handed out to the barman who slept with the same woman more than three times: a glass of urine to drink, and not even his own.
Episode 2
Drunk and A&E
Alcohol is very much on everyone's mind in this episode in a town where excessive drinking is actively encouraged and where the cocktails are three times cheaper than back home. It's hardly surprising that the 'Strip' is awash with drunk and disorderly behaviour. Nineteen-year-old Niki is on holiday for the first time without her parents. She falls off a podium and gets a suspected fracture. An open-minded mother and daughter's night of excessive drinking ends in disaster and a builder from York is told by the A&E clinic that he may have to lose his finger after a drunken night out with his friends turns nasty.
Episode 3
Work Hard and Play Hard
The final episode meets the British workers in Kavos, including PR girl Jenny, who is tested for STIs, hit by a car and treated for malnutrition, all within a matter of weeks. While holidaymakers find it hard to last a week in Kavos, the workers have to tough it out for the entire summer, which means night after night of heavy drinking, casual sex and low pay. With no parents around and a job description that encourages binge-drinking and excessive partying, the few hundred British workers soon become a very distinct breed, more promiscuous and more prone to injuries and often needing the services of the local clinic, Kavos Emergencies.
