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 the final episode of the series, Ellie asks an out of work Louisa to clean for her, which turns out to be a fractious undertaking, and then fills her newly won free time by taking up wild swimming, much to Mitch’s dismay initially, although there are unexpected benefits. Will meanwhile takes in a boozy delivery for Morris, which proves to be not quite as straightforward a task as initially advertised by Morris.
