Product 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.

Great, we really loved to see this. I bought it for my wife, but we all had great pleasure watching it. It is as funny and enjoyable as a "true" sitcom can be. Great actors, nice chaos in the family and funny outcomes of it in each episode. We are watching the 2nd and 3rd series now. We loved it as much as we liked "My Family".

Very funny BBC series, watched it when it was on the tele and thought it was very funny and witty. Bought the dvd to watch again and ordered series 2 which is even funnier. Worth a watch.

Real title of DVD: "IQ Test"
This comedy has it all. The 'wisecracking' son; the over-acting mother in law; the canned laughter to save the fact that there are no jokes; the painfully predictable 'punchlines'... Read more

3rd rate stuff
This is another example of comedy which feels rehearsed and not at all natural. Like "My Family", you look at the screen and are surprised to see the actors not actually holding... Read more
