Press
From the writer of Men Behaving Badly, Simon Nye, and starring the Man Behaving Badly Neil Morrissey, BBC One's new sitcom essentially poses the question: "What if, instead of going out with the disapproving Leslie Ash, Neil Morrissey played a character married to someone just like Martin Clunes - but a woman!?!"
