Season 1

Mutual Friends is a British comedy-drama television series written by Anil Gupta and Richard Pinto and produced by Hat Trick Productions about a group of old friends whose lives are thrown into chaos when one of their own commits suicide and follows the trials and tribulations and highs and lows of their increasingly entangled lives.

After the suicide of his best friend, Carl, solicitor Martin's world falls apart when his wife, Jen, tells him at the funeral that she slept with his now dead friend.

As the once happy couple struggle to hold their marriage together, Martin's pathologically immature but endlessly charming friend, Patrick, re-enters their lives and decides to help Martin through his troubles in his own inimitably hedonistic way.

Meanwhile, Jen receives support and advice from her best friend, Liz – who also happens to be Patrick's former fiancée.

Patrick discovers to his horror that Liz has now hooked up romantically with his business partner Harry who, in turn, is trying to force Patrick out of Qcumba – his mail-order clothing business.

Exploring issues of death, adultery, marriage, divorce, parenthood and even breaking and entering, with friends like these, who needs enemies?

Marc Warren is Martin; Alexander Armstrong is Patrick; Keeley Hawes is Jen. The series also stars Sarah Alexander, Claire Rushbrook, Naomi Bentley, Rhashan Stone, Lee Ross and Emily Joyce.

Mutual Friends was written by Richard Pinto and Anil Gupta, produced by Rob Bullock and directed by Catherine Morshead and Jim O'Hanlon. The Executive Producer is Mark Redhead.
