DVD Description

Nicholas Lyndhurst, Celia Imrie and Dani Harmer head up the impressive cast for the BBC sitcom After You've Gone which is written and created by Fred Barron, the creator of My Family.

The series centres around Jimmy Venible (played by Nicholas Lyndhurst), a jack-of-all-trades who is probably the only man in Britain who gets divorced and ends up with his mother-in-law.

The father of two moves back into the marital home to look after his children after his wife decides to take her nursing skills to a Third World natural disaster. The only problem for Jimmy is that his mother-in-law (played by Celia Imrie) decides she's going to help him.

Add to this a daughter (played by Tracy Beaker's Dani Harmer) who's sure she's already a woman and a son who dresses like one, and you get a sense of the challenges Jimmy faces as he tries to be a real father on a daily basis.



Synopsis

Sitcom featuring Nicholas Lynhurst as Jimmy Venible, the amiable jack-of-all-trades who agrees to allow his mother-in-law to move into his family home and help look after his children, after his wife leaves him.

5.0 out of 5 stars bbc comedy back to its best, 29 Sep 2007
By M. Freeman (Hampshire ,England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
ignore the bad reviews, this is one of the best bbc sitcoms in quite some time and now that my family has ended its the only decent sitcom still running. The best thing about it is the great use of scarcasm by Lindhurst.

All the people who have given it bad reviews need to start looking at Lindhurst as Lindhurst not Rodney, then I'm sure you would find it much more enjoyable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, 29 Mar 2008
By L. Lambourne (Wirral, Merseyside, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Whoever has said that this comedy is boring or over-acted doesn't know what they're talking about! This comedy is easy to watch and you can easily get to like or dislike some characters. Nicholas Lyndhurst is still on top form and clearly hasn't lost his spark. Celia Imre is hilarious as the over the top grandma we all get embarrassed by. Dani Harmer has come such a long way since Tracey Beaker and is turning into a fine young actress. Ryan Sampson as Alex is just magic! The way he portrays the character is just right. A lad who doesn't want to grow up and is quite happy staying as a young boy, but who shows a sensitive side and a deep connection with his dad, Jimmy Venebles in an episode in series one. I would recommend this undoubtedly to anyone! A classic British comedy which can be enjoyed by all the family! A must have in your DVD collection.
