According To Bex stars Jessica Hynes (then Stevenson) as Bex Atwell, a secretary who's stuck in an 'almost' world - almost in a relationship, almost in a good job, almost a size 10/12.

Bex is trying to figure out what a smart woman is supposed to do in a world where men behave like... men, but the more she discovers the more infuriating they become!

Bex's boss Charles doesn't acknowledge relationship boundaries; her on/off boyfriend Ryan is worried that she's "trying to corral his seed"; and her womanising father, Jack, has regressed into one of the lads.

With the help of her acerbic friend Chris and her subversive office mate Jan, Bex tries to work out what men are all about and why women even bother to try working them out in the first place.

Our Review: This promising sitcom turned out to be distinctly average - average jokes, average acting and average sets. There are a few funny moments but, more often than not, it is a bit dull and predictable and thinks it is much funnier than it actually is.

Jessica Hynes tries hard but it isn't worth the effort. Her monologues to camera with the vox pops from 'the general public' inserted are quite an original idea but actually the most annoying thing about this 2005 sitcom.
