01 - Love, Wine and Mathematics Aston Somerfield is a professional, but this says nothing of his questionable work ethic. Rather, Aston is determined to keep things uncomplicated.

Being of a somewhat useless persuasion, Aston will do his very best to ignore it. /episode/index/show/electricity/id/20894
