LatestWhen Andy’s offered the opportunity of a lifetime it might mean the end of Errol and Andy’s relationship as we know it.
Andy is a dissolute out-of work musician who forges an unlikely alliance with his 12-year-old nephew Errol after being morally blackmailed into looking after him by his chaotic sister Sam - all on the day Andy was planning to kill himself. Not a natural with either kids or responsibility, he tries to keep his new charge out of trouble while being knee-deep in it himself.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Nick Helm wrote and performed original songs for every episode, often improvised on set. The 'Fire in the Booth' rap went viral before the show aired.
Creator Oliver Refson based Andy loosely on his own 20s struggles; the show became a cult hit partly because it aired when male mental health discourse was finally cracking open in UK media.
