Him and her sitcom

Call it the ongoing drip-down effect of The Royle Family if you like — although it's more likely a knock-on effect of budget restrictions — but lately, the BBC has been crawling with low-key single-set sitcoms. Simon Amstell's Grandma's House let its surreal, borderline-fictional personality crisis play out in a single house. Rev did manage to venture outside, but didn't exactly scream "big budget action adventure". The show's premise is simple: a young unemployed couple living in a bedsit and trying to avoid engaging with the outside world. It's so simple that it took a while to get going — but three weeks in and it's been picking up the following that it deserves. Close-up and intimate it may be, but this isn't one of those sitcoms where nothing happens. Its writer, Stefan Golaszewski, nails that twentysomething apathy in which real-world events are dangerous invasions into time available for watching Inspector Morse DVDs and having sex. In fact, Golaszewski breaks the last great TV taboo about young people, in showing them to be almost boring. People drift in and out of the bedsit with little explanation of who they actually are. This is real life in all its dull randomness. Normally my heart sinks when something is described as "getting darker" — as if dark implies better, or funnier, or worthwhile. Last week, Steve and Becky avoided going out to a party to celebrate a young boy's remission from leukaemia because there wasn't a free bar. They decided to stay in and have sex again instead.

In the second series Becky and Steve's relationship blossoms above the nitty gritty of living together, but there's trouble on the horizon.

The theme tune is the song " Boom Bang-a-Bang " by Lulu. The first series aired from 6 September to 11 October , and comprised six episodes. The second series aired from 1 November to 13 December , and comprised seven episodes. The third series aired from 18 November to 23 December , comprising seven episodes, including a 'special' Christmas episode. The fourth and final series aired from 21 November to 19 December and comprised five episodes. Series 4 subtitled "The Wedding" is based around Laura and Paul's wedding ceremony and reception, rather than the flat where Steve and Becky live.
