Talk to Me is a British television serial produced by Company Pictures for ITV. The four-part serial began on June 10, 2007 and stars Max Beesley as Mitch Moore, a womanising radio host whose producer is also his best mate and about to get married to Claire (played by Laura Fraser). She's a new mother, experiencing the emotional crunch of returning to her office job after maternity leave. Mitch was in love with Clare and after Clare had an argument with her fiance, she and Mitch slept together. Clare walked out on him telling him it was a one-off but later they had sex in his car. Clare eventually breaks her affair with Mitch off, but feeling guilty she tells her fiance what she has done. He walks out on her and takes their baby son. He then punches Mitch and tells him they are no longer friends. Clare and her fiance eventually reconcile when Mitch makes a heartfelt plea on his radio station, Mitch is left with no one.
