But when he discovers that she's in a coma, Rob decides to track down his own high school crush, Nicola Dare. Further complications arise when a fun run, a tramp and a five-year-old girl are thrown into the mix, and Rob starts to suspect that Duncan is just better than him...

EP2 Black and White and Red All Over Jan 16, 2009

EP4 The Competition Winner Jan 30, 2009

Rob decides to up the ante. The only way he can upstage his ex, Linsey, and Duncan from Blue in their celebrity magazine wedding pictures is by taking along a celebrity of his own. And who better than George Clooney's ex, Lisa Snowdon? But how can Rob get anywhere near her let alone woo her into being his 'plus one'? Needless to say, Rob's brother, Rich, has plenty of ideas and, with the help of one of his foul-mouthed and scandalously scheming school kids, Rich comes up with a plan to provide Rob with the perfect way of meeting Lisa and bagging her as his date. Except this is Rob and his life never goes to plan...

EP5 One Love Feb 06, 2009

After a catalogue of dating disasters, close shaves with the law and embarrassingly cringe-worthy scenarios in which he has disgraced himself in front of celebrities and models, Rob decides to give up looking for the perfect 'plus one' and avoid the wedding entirely. That is until he hooks up with vivacious multi-millionairess, supermodel, biochemist, Astrid, who is just crazy for him. Rob's finally found someone who will help him upstage the bride and groom after all, and live on T4 to boot! But is there really such a thing as a rich, brainy, beauty that would really want to go out with someone like Rob?

DonnieDarkoAU This is one of the best comedy shows I have seen in recent times. Although the story starts a little slow, the episodes get better and better, winding up to the grand finale. Daniel Mays plays an excellent role as the unwilling star in series of unfortunate circumstances of his own doing. The humour is well constructed and organised with events rolling from one laugh to another. The language is a bit strong so it wont suit the smaller kids but it's one of the freshest comedies on the recent market. The American market might find it hard to get into as it's not geared to the US style of slapstick / deadpan that is associated with many American made productions.Looking forward to the next season.
fran-e-davies I stumbled upon this sitcom purely by accident as I walked into the room my boyfriend was watching it in and it is without a doubt one of the best (if not the best) sitcom I have ever had the privilege of watching. Rarely have I found something that makes me laugh out loud so much.The writing is clever, quick and incredibly witty. Each sub story intertwine brilliantly with each other and their little quirks and moments of insanity work and gel together perfectly. Daniel Mays is a delight to watch (esp his break dancing) and who knew Duncan from Blue would pull off the performance of a Bond villain so well. Also Nigel Harman and Steve John Shepherd are great and not too terrible on the eyes either.This is a smart, witty, intelligent and hilarious comedy that will appeal to everyone. I cant recommend it highly enough to anyone who wants to have a good laugh!!
Screen_Talent Just when you think British 'comedy' TV can't get any worse and has hit rock bottom, you find there's a whole new bottom that you didn't know existed below where you thought the bottom was. And this is it. Where do you start? Perhaps with the monumentally unfunny, cliché-laden script. Then, there's a particularly hideous and deeply unlikeable cast. Of all the great actors unemployed at any one time, is this the best that the producers can come up with? The whole mixture is directed with negligible skill, and it's impossible to think that anyone over the age of 13 will find this even faintly amusing. Jokes about penises and wanking abound. Oh, great. Watching the show is a miserable and thankless task. And an utter waste of time for all concerned. 0 out of 10.
tuppen2010 I'm not quite sure how this new series manages to fail so spectacularly. On the surface the set- up is funny, even some of the gags are funny - well, perhaps they were on paper. But the reality is miserable, forced and with no sense of comic timing whatsoever, which is odd given that there are a number of great actors involved (Daniel Mays, in particular). The beats and rhythms of comedy are missing and I couldn't work out whether this was the fault of the writer or director. However, the writer is responsible for thinking that cheap gags ironically mocking racism are funny and not understanding that British actors, as a rule, are not good at using expletives and still making the line funny. Watch the first episode only for the sight of Mays dressed as a giant panda.
