A new relationship for Louisa has repercussions for everyone. Stars Angus Deayton.

A new relationship for Louisa has unexpected repercussions when the rest of the gang, after initial scepticism, finally get to meet the man of the moment. 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 mis-matched neighbours.

In episode five, a new relationship for Louisa with businessman Josh (Jonny Weldon) has unexpected repercussions when the rest of the gang, after initial scepticism about whether it’s worth making the effort to meet him at all, finally encounter the man of the moment.
