1/6. As the 1960s draws to a close, good-natured yet hapless Jeremy Sloane has been sacked from his job as an accountant and his brash best friend Ross has just been awarded the promotion he'd always dreamed of. If that wasn't bad enough, his wife Janet has dumped him and a failed suicide attempt has left his house in urgent need of repair. But with a collection of self-help tapes, a new job as a substitute teacher and a chance meeting with an American woman in the local ironmonger's, he has a number of reasons to be optimistic about the future. Comedy directed and co-written by Robert B Weide, and starring Nick Frost, Olivia Colman, Peter Serafinowicz and Ophelia Lovibond.
