Plot
Co-written by and starring Lee Evans, this sitcom centres around his character sharing a house with his slobbish friend and their neurotic landlady. Lee is highly accident prone and disaster seems to strike him no matter what his intentions are.
Cast
Characters
Lee has been thrown out by his wife and has no choice but to move in with friend Stuart. He is barely employed and everything he touches seems to turn to disaster. He does write tunes for mobile phone ringtones. And had a son, Lucas, with his wife.
Stuart is Lee's slobbish and disorganised friend. He allows Lee to stay in his flat against his better judgement and soon regrets his decision. He is a double glazing window salesman. And he was married to Wendy and had children with her.
Heather is Lee and Stuart's landlady and is fiercely neurotic. She is also desperate to find a man. She is a failed "IT" girl. And her father is in prison for embezzlement.
Production
Lee Evans has stated to be displeased with the series. ‘I was writing the scripts and then I’d get on set and I’d be given a script with someone else’s name on it. It was like being punched in the stomach and you’d have to start performing feeling like that. The show turned into something completely different from what I intended it to be. It was as if they didn’t trust me, as if they didn’t think I was good enough a writer, but it didn’t work. I had to walk away from doing any more series. I just went home.’
DVD
The complete first and only series was released on DVD on 12 November 2001. It was sold as a two-disc set. The first was a double-sided disc (unusual for a BBC release) showing all eight episodes, with the second containing 30-minutes of outtakes and a documentary about Lee Evans.
