Plot

Middle-aged and widowed Mitch is living in a converted North London Victorian house, divided into flats, with the house owner and half-brother Will who works as a translator from home. In the neighbouring flats is nervous and shy Ellie who secretly holds a crush on Mitch, frightfully honest but frustrated actress Louisa, and dimwitted IT nerd Morris. All four find their way to bothering Mitch with regularity.
