All 14 episodes plus the Christmas specials of the BBC comedy series. The first series follows publisher Howard Steel (Ben Miller) through the week leading up to his wedding, in which he faces a series of disasters and catastrophes during what should be the happiest period of his life. From trying to stop a colleague with whom he had an affair from ruining his big day, to dealing with his pompous in-laws and his drunken best man, Howard faces an uphill struggle to ensure that the day goes as planned. In Series 2, Howard and Mel (Sarah Alexander) are now married with a baby on the way, but unsurprisingly things are going far from smoothly and Howard is only managing to make the Cook family hate him even more than ever. In the three Christmas specials, events at the office party threaten to affect relations with the in-laws, while scuffling with Santa isn't going down very well either.
