When the Cat's Away

"When the Cat's Away" - a British sitcom where events can spiral at a dizzying pace and the audience's laughter spirals out of control.

What connects a honeymoon to Saint Tropez on a couple's twentieth wedding anniversary, two English marriages with twenty years of history, and their mutual barbs? Add to that: how to awaken wild passion in a bumbling husband, how to keep up with a sex-obsessed brother-in-law, how to impress a pretentious wealthy sister without killing her with smoked salmon - and can a toilet brush bearing the royal couple's portrait help a beautiful twenty-year-old girl with suicide? The answers are abstractly surprising.

One thing is certain this evening: over 2 hours of good humour and laughter until tears.
