A sitcom, written by Moray Hunter and starring Angus Deayton, about five single, middle-aged neighbours living in flats in a converted house in north London. With Abigail Cruttenden, Pearce Quigley, Kate Isitt and Bennett Arron.

Mitch (Angus Deayton) is a widower and part-time therapist who is looking to put his life back together now that he is single and living with Will (Pearce Quigley), his younger, more volatile and unhappily divorced half-brother. Elsewhere in the building are schoolteacher Ellie (Abigail Cruttenden) who is shy, nervous and holds a secret candle for Mitch. Overly honest, frustrated actress Louisa (Kate Isitt), and socially inept IT nerd Morris (Bennett Arron) complete the line-up of mis-matched neighbours.

In the fifth episode, The Big Scene, Louisa is due to make an appearance in a popular TV sitcom and invites everyone round to her flat to watch it go out ‘live’. Under pressure from Ellie, Louisa also invites the show’s star, Maya Kumari (Mina Anwar), to come and watch it go out too. The unattached Maya proves extremely popular with the men, particularly Mitch, and Ellie soon finds herself in a very awkward spot.
