Sitcom following the trials and tribulations of a group of 20-something friends living in Manchester who are facing the decision to either settle down or carrying on partying as they 'hurtle towards their thirties'.
Michelle is a 20-something with a good job and good flat but with problems in her love life. Her brother - 'DJ' Mike - is a bit of a loser, whilst his best friend Grant is hopelessly, utterly in love with her.
Series two sees Michelle get a new flatmate. Chris is an old uni friend of Michelle's - he's now doing a PhD in Women's Studies, but hasn't had sex in seven years!

| BSG Review: |
The target audience of this sitcom are no doubt big fans of this sitcom - in our opinion the second series was an improvement on the first but it was still far, far from being a good comedy. Wooden setups and weak jokes - we thought 'comedy by the numbers' sitcoms had been killed off years ago.
We're not alone in hating it - see our forum for many negative reviews. It should be noted there are a couple of people on our message board defending the show though. |
