How Do You Want Me? 10.00pm BBC2
Simon Nye's new comedy drama could well be the new This Life. It has a dark, deadpan style of humour that is particularly suited to the delivery of its main character (played by Dylan Moran, a former Perrier comedy award winner who has the same gentle, tongue-in-cheek manner of Alan Davies in Jonathan Creek, or maybe even Sean Hughes). Not only that, it has a cracking cast, too, including Four Weddings and a Funeral's Charlotte Coleman, Frank Finlay and Diana Fairfax.
The story revolves around a young, newly married couple who set up home in the village in which she was brought up. He's too much of a city boy to fit in and his in-laws hate him (Finlay can convey contempt and loathing with just one eyebrow). There are echoes of Men Behaving Badly Gary and Tony in some of the peripheral characters, but don't expect a belly laugh. It's more a snigger, a snort and a smirk sort of thing.
