Dawn French and Mark Heap to star in new BBC sitcom
When William Fenton (Heap) dies, his wife Debbie (French) doesn’t spend a lot of time grieving. She’s too busy thinking about the life insurance payout. There’s just one problem: William isn’t actually dead.
After a clerical error sees William declared deceased, the couple cook up a scheme. All he needs to do is camp out in the loft for a few months until the payout arrives, and both will be set for life. Their son Harry has to deal with the pair, who he comes to realise aren’t much more emotionally developed than his toddlers.
