�James Purefoy: 70%

Hysterical comedy about the lives and loves of some London housemates, one of which is a member of a Man's Group - the kind that go off for Wild Man weekends in woods. It's a kind of gay version of This Year's Love but far funnier.

James plays a smouldering Irish sandwich shop keeper on the lookout for love. Also appearing are Jennifer Ehle, Hugo Weaving, Simon Callow and his heir apparent Tom Hollander. It really has some storming lines and it's a mystery as to why it got such a great reception in Australia but hardly anyone knows about it in the UK. And if you're wondering why the britches icon appears, it's coz of a fantastic Jane Austen spoof dream sequence!
