Classic British sitcom written by Simon Nye, very loosely adapted from a not-particularly-successful novel he wrote in the late 80s. The main cast consists of Martin Clunes as Gary, Caroline Quentin as Dorothy and Leslie Ash as Deborah; the first season had Harry Enfield playing Dermot as secondary lead, while all the subsequent ones replaced him with Neil Morrissey as Tony. It's generally acknowledged that this second season was the moment when the show [[Growing the Beard|grew its beard]]. There are several reasons for this - Tony was a more interesting character than Dermot, the show moved from ITV to [[BBC 1]] and the lack of adverts meant that Nye had a few more minutes to play with, and it hit a moment of zeitgeist as the late 80s/early 90s New Man was being brushed aside by a resurgence of laddish masculinity. |
