It Takes A Worried Man... - The Complete First Series

Philip Roath is thirty-five. An insurance salesman whose confidence is diminishing as rapidly as his hair and teeth, he's lazy, self-centred, guilt-ridden and insecure. With an overdraft to support, a boss who vainly tries to get him to work for his salary, an ex-wife who rings periodically to remind him of his inadequacies, and an analyst whose problems dwarf his own, he's altogether a bit worried...

It Takes A Worried Man traces Roath's uphill struggle to come to terms with his lot. Created by Peter Tilbury - who also stars as the unfortunate Roath - the series built upon the resounding success of Tilbury's Shelley and Sorry, I'm A Stranger Here Myself, once again showcasing Tilbury's gift for adroit and keenly observed comic dialogue. This set comprises the complete first series.
