To Be Him & Her
We have all have wished at some point of our lives – what would life have been if Pandora had not opened the box of troubles? We would have been busy merry making and living happily ever after!
Him & Her is a 30 minute comedy sitcom which plays out exactly this dream for a couple, Steve and Becky. Produced by Big Talk and aired on BBC Three on every Monday at 10.30 pm, this hilarious series is about a couple who have no ambitions, no plans for life and are in no hurry to go anywhere in life! Living off their State funds the couple just have one objective – to enjoy each other on Steve’s bed.
Steve at 25 years of age loves to eat, drink and have sex, Becky at 24 years finds working a big hassle, something that can be completed avoided. No pushover, Becky is adored by her friend and family alike while Steve usually cannot fathom what goes around her mind. Becky can see through Steve pretty well, leaving him vulnerable and usually at the receiving end of Becky’s mean tongue, though both know within themselves that they are good for each other and have infact found their soul mates.
People come into their lives and usually upset their schedule, because they don’t leave as easily. Their lonely and love hungry neighbour Dan always finds some reason to visit them while Becky’s sister Laura and her fiancé, a well played out loveably psychotic character.
Russell Tovey of the Little Dorrit and Being Human fame plays the role of Steve while Sarah Solemani (Surbaban Shootout) essays the perky Becky. The series is by Stefan Golaszewski and includes the minute details of a relationship including the farts, warts and wrangling involved in keeping one alive.
Watching this sitcom series is like watching our own selves live out that often dreamt about fairy tale where life is limited to wondering about what to order in as food and how soon to get into bed with our partner, whether in our own house or in some hotel in Looe! It would be a good idea to record this series and turn it into a funny video and relive the moment whenever time permits in our totally busy and stressful lives!
