Description

Dan est un idiot puéril pris au piège dans la vie d'un adulte, dont le monde est près de s'effondre. Sa petite amie Naomi perd rapidement patience à cause de son incapacité à naviguer dans les tâches les plus simples de la vie. Il a deux amis exceptionnellement dysfonctionnels et une carrière d'enseignant apathique qui le voit à enseigner contrecoeur la même leçon chaque jour. Inexplicablement populaire auprès de tous sauf un des élèves, avec son seul point culminant venant sous la forme de Miss Lipsey, une maîtresse en chef qui voit Dan avec un mélange de pitié et de désespoir. Pour aggraver les choses, il est tourmenté quotidiennement par son père volontairement fou, dont la motivation motrice dans la vie semble être de s'assurer que son fils est humilié à chaque tour.

The Home

Walking disaster-area and child-trapped-in-a-man's-body Dan is blinkered by unrealistic hopes for his impending fatherhood; he's quit his much-hated job as a teacher and is applying his unique work ethic to another, more earthy profession. With Aunt Nesta and his mum now in a retirement village 'pissing my inheritance up a wall' Dan is on an increasingly desperate hunt to find a new home for his soon-to-be family. Helped by his oldest friends, uptight financial advisor Brian and the irrepressibly bonkers, serial 'entrepreneur' Jo, can Dan finally grow up to become the man he hopes he can be?
