After You've Gone 鈥� new sitcom starts Friday 12 January 2007 at 8.30pm on 麻豆社 One
Introduction
Nicholas Lyndhurst makes a welcome return to the 麻豆社 One in sitcom After You've Gone as jack-of-all-trades, Jimmy Venables 鈥� probably the only man in Britain who gets divorced and ends up sharing a home with his mother-in-law.
听
Weekend-dad Jimmy volunteers to move back into the marital home to look after his two teenagers when his ex-wife volunteers to tend to victims of a natural disaster in Africa.
听
Unfortunately, Jimmy's patrician mother-in-law, Diana (Celia Imrie) views Jimmy as a walking, talking natural disaster so she virtually moves in to "help" which generally means undermining Jimmy whenever possible.
听
With a smart talking daughter, Molly (Dani Harmer, star of Tracy Beaker), who thinks she's already a woman, and a son, Alex (Ryan Sampson), who occasionally dresses a bit too much like one, just how much of a challenge can adapting to fatherhood on a daily basis be?
听
