Wonderful You

Synopsis
A sexy, modern drama series about a group of North London friends coping with life at thirty, and a very original and compelling will-they-won't-they love story. WONDERFUL YOU was the first drama to be screened by ITV when they moved the 'News at Ten'. Marshall is 30, good-looking, successful, drives a Porsche and lives with Clare, his equally attractive girlfriend. Even worse, he's a pretty good bloke. So how is Henry, the Crouch End undiscovered songwriter with soul, with a part-time job and a push-bike, going to steal Clare away? Meanwhile can Henry's best friend Heather overcome the feeling that she's one step from spinsterhood? Or Marco and Gina choose between their own happiness and that of their small son?


Press Comments
"There's no other programme at the moment that can make me cry with laughter like this one and I rather wish it could go on forever." (The Express)

"WONDERFUL YOU arrives laden with all the advantages a TV fairy godmother could possibly bestow: new talent...; big stars - Greg Wise and Lucy Akhurst - who form a couple of such dazzling sexiness that protective goggles are required; producers with a track record in comedy drama... I was gawping even before the stylish monochrome credit sequence was over... It is engaging, sweet-natured, and good on the peculiar emotional quirks of men. Also it is pacy, catchily filmed and directed, and addictive." (Mail on Sunday)

"[WONDERFUL YOU] had us thirtysomethings, not to mention a significant sector of the rest of the viewing public, gripped... Perfect." (The Times)

"WONDERFUL YOU was wonderfully watchable from start to finish." (The Mirror)
