Stevie is an ultra-camp care worker who enters the life of Tim, an ex-public schoolboy living in London. Tim considers himself a man's man, so how he's going to cope with Steve is anybody's guess.
Tiffany
Daniel's not the most relaxed person to spend time with. A high-maintenance hypochondriac, he turns up to pester Tiffany, a tough talking girl who likes no-nonsense men.
Michael
When Wicky turns up at Michael's door, Michael's world rapidly begins to unravel. He loves his tidy, clean flat and neat, structured life but Wicky is a messy, new-age neurotic who loves to hug.
Matt
Sasha's never done a day's work in his life, but then he doesn't have to while he's living off his trust fund from daddy. Pompous and condescending, he descends upon mild-mannered Matt.
Sam
Demanding and needy, Simon attaches himself to Sam, a snowboarding globetrotter who needs his space.
Emma
Loutish, loud mouthed and in your face, Gary's a wide boy in every way. He, literally, crashes into the life of Emma, a bubbly Coventry lass who's nice to animals.
