Man Down

Dan (GREG DAVIES) has lost his trousers and is in danger of losing his girlfriend. He hates his job, his dad (RIK MAYALL) is out to get him, his friends can’t help him and there’s a tailor on the war path. Events conspire to keep this Man Down.

Dan has lost his girlfriend but, assisted by his two best friends, he has a plan to get her back involving two bags of mince and a welder called Mad Nobby... what could possibly go wrong? Meanwhile his dad hits him with his most devious and sick prank yet.

Dan, unlike his ex-girlfriend Naomi (DEIRDRE MULLINS), isn’t invited to his niece’s birthday party. Desperate to impress her he manages to persuade the family that he can be trusted with one of the big jobs to get the party ready. Will his dad get to joyfully bathe in the failure of his son yet again, or will he actually pull it off?

Brian (MIKE WOZNIAK) introduces Dan to a guru with a secret, so unbelievably powerful, that he can only tell it to one person at a time – although it’s another incredible attribute that keeps Dan completely mesmerised. Unexpected visitors in the classroom and the most extreme of wake-up-calls from his dad also stand in the way of this man getting his life back on track.

Although still haunted, literally, by the ghost of his ex girlfriend, Dan ends up unexpectedly preparing for a date, with a little help from Brian. Meanwhile his dad offers him a terrifying insight into his own romantic past.

Brian finds himself nominated for a Small Business Award and Dan must quickly find a tuxedo and a date to impress his ex. Will Dan’s dad, or his mate Jo (ROISIN CONATY) help him in his hour of need? There’s also unrest at school when the class realise it could be the end of Space Mission.

‘Scrooge 3000’, a festive school play set in space, and a terrifying yuletide tradition, unsurprisingly courtesy of his psychotic dad, are just two of the Christmas challenges which risk reducing Dan’s life to a crumbling mess.
