Semi-Detached

Each episode lays out in real time and is exactly like 24, except instead of following a government agent as he saves the planet, the series follows a perennial loser called Stuart as his life goes down the pan in a suburban cul-de-sac.
All Stuart wants is a quiet life as a wedding DJ but his family seems to have other ideas.
On top of barely coping with a (much younger) partner April and a newborn baby, Stuart also has to look out for his jailbird brother Charlie and his promiscuous, drug-taking Dad Willie.
Then there's the ex-wife Kate, who lives across the cul-de-sac with their teenage daughter Madonna and Kate's husband Ted, who thinks he's better than Stuart because he sells fish to sushi restaurants.
In the series premiere: Things haven't been going well for Stu and April since the birth of their baby.
Faced with a make-or-break date, Stu has to contend with disruptions from his inappropriate Dad, extortionist brother and an almighty argument erupting next door.
