Comedy Fear Stress and Anger
![]() Work hard, look after your family and the rewards come flooding in, right? For Martin and Julie Chadwick, the cheque is still in the post.
He describes the series: "When you reach a certain age, the phrase, 'What has my life come to?' starts preying on your mind. The baby boomers are supposed to be keeping up these wonderfully dynamic lifestyles they've been slaving away at for 20 years or more, yet they're haemorrhaging cash from both ends – only to get ousted by the next generation."
They try drugs, therapy and new jobs, but Martin's unerring ability to screw up absolutely everything, combined with Julie's rampant neuroses, just add to the fear, the stress and the anger. "But despite it all, the series has a nice, warm feeling running through it. You can see that they get on really well as a couple; they love their kids (sometimes); they love his mum; they just wish they weren't paying for them all the time!" says producer Sue Vertue (Coupling, The Vicar of Dibley). The series was filmed on location and at Twickenham Film Studios. Cast & Crew
