A sitcom, written by Moray Hunter and starring Angus Deayton, Abigail Cruttenden, Pearce Quigley, Kate Isitt and Bennett Arron, about five, mainly single, middle-aged neighbours living in flats in a converted house in north London.
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 half-brother. Mitch is currently in a new relationship with Ellie (Abigail Cruttenden) who is a somewhat shy, nervous and sensitive schoolteacher. Overly honest, frustrated actress Louisa (Kate Isitt), and socially inept IT nerd Morris (Bennett Arron) complete the line-up of mismatched neighbours.
In episode three, a cat moves in to the house, after some encouragement from Morris. Everyone is delighted with the new arrival, save for Louisa, who doesn’t want any disruption or distractions from a very important and imminent acting job. Ellie and Mitch meanwhile have fallen out after Mitch questioned the value of his visiting Ellie’s dementia-ridden mum.
