  Do opposites really attract?

  It may seem odd to many, but stripy tights, pigtails and a gift to make kids laugh - whether at parties or on children's wards - make Pip McCabe happy. For her, clowning is a serious business. It's just a shame her family and friends don't buy it.

  High-flyer Zac Holmes - with his fabulous flat, sophisticated charm and grown-up life - couldn't be more different from laid-back Pip.

When Zac and Pip first meet, it is far from love or lust at first sight. What can a clown and an accountant possibly have in common? Against a lively backdrop of parties and parks, hospitals and hotels, they attempt to find out -
