Fortysomething - series by Nigel Williams, 2003


This comical UK series of only 6 episodes has an amazing cast -I'm thinking of Hugh Laurie and Benedict Cumberbatch in particular, with a guest apparition from Stephen Fry.

Summary: Paul Sliperry can't recall when for heaven' sake was the last time he had sex with his wife. Lots of stuff seem to drift off his mind, lately. Meanwhile Estelle, Paul's wife, gets fired from a job she never worked at. Meanwhile their elder son, Rory, finds it hard to be both perfectly nice and not getting taken advantage of by everyone, namely his brother Daniel, who's decided to sleep with his girlfriend. Meanwhile the youngest son, Edwin, finds it clever to buy a bunch of fridges to decorate the garden. Will Paul find out when he last had sex without losing his sanity?

Comment: This show was really fun to watch. 
... Do all british characters named Rory get such a wonderful personality?

Fortysomething's Rory.
Dr Who's Rory.
