Comedy writer Mark Taylor (Robert Bathurst - Cold Feet, My Dad's the Prime Minister) knows he has found the woman of his dreams when he meets Becky Johnson by chance, in highly embarrassing circumstances. Becky (Fiona Gillies - Peak Practice, Mother Love) is won over by his non-stop, quick-fire one-liners, and, following a brief but ever eventful romance, they giggle their way up the aisle. But five years down the line, Mark hasn't noticed that the joke has worn thin and the laughter track run out. When he arranges a surprise party for his wife, little does he realise that it will truly turn out to be a night to remember for everyone. Now, for the first time since it was broadcast, you can experience the joy and the pain, the laughter and the tears with this digitally restored version of the complete first series of Steven Moffat's bittersweet masterpiece.
