Mr Sloane: Trailer, certificate and where to watch
1960s-set comedy series starring Nick Frost and Olivia Colman
Year: 2014
Certificate: 15
Life is not going well for office worker Jeremy Sloane (Nick Frost). The Sixties may be swinging for everyone else, but the loss of his job and the fact that his wife (Olivia Colman) has left him have brought him to the brink of despair. But then he meets flower-powered wildchild Robin (Ophelia Lovibond) and things start looking up.
Happy to mix slapstick and bittersweet embarrassment comedy into a big gentle ball, this sadly short-lived six-episode comedy drama makes great use of Frost's ability to ricochet from hangdog despair to puppydog delight. The supporting cast are good fun too, with Colman, Lovibond and Peter Serafinowicz (as one of Sloane's pub mates) doing sterling work. (Six episodes)
