Steve lies

Steve tells a small white lie in a bid to impress a potential client about the amazing renovation job he's done to his cottage - but this soon comes back to haunt him.

Featuring: Jack Dee (Steve), Kerry Godliman (Nicky) & Hannah Waddingham (Imelda).

Press

The caustic rural sitcom grumbles on with hapless urbanites Nicky (Kerry Godliman) and Steve (Jack Dee) still trapped in a clapped-out country cottage. With the septic tank in pungent revolt, a new web-design contract seems to offer a financial lifeline, so long as they can hoodwink the glitzy client.

Graeme Virtue, The Guardian, 26th September 2018
