Spilt Milk, starring Alison Steadman and Alexander Kirk, follows the story of a 41-year-old lazy dreamer living with a mother who is desperate for him to find a partner and move out.

Michael has never had a girlfriend and his mum Susan decides it's time for him to buck up his ideas and get a woman. She wants him out of the house for both their sakes.

But no woman in her right mind would want him. Still, Susan has a plan. Her friend's got a single niece and, if needs be, Susan will drag Michael to meet her. Perhaps the niece will take pity on him. But maybe Michael has plans of his own...
