An early retirement offer for Ellie leaves Mitch looking for a home. Stars Angus Deayton.

An untimely early retirement offer for Ellie snowballs quickly, leaving Will looking to increase his rental income and Mitch looking for a new place to live. Stars Angus Deayton.

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 four, an unexpected early retirement offer for Ellie and much ill-advised counsel from Louisa leaves Ellie pondering a move to the country, Will looking to increase his rental income, Mitch looking like he could soon be homeless and Morris as possibly the happiest man alive.
