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.
