Summary

Philip Roath (Peter Tilbury) is an insurance salesman in his mid thirties.

He can never make his mind up about anything. Even when his wife walks out on him, he can't decide how he really feels about the situation.

Philip goes to see his analyst Simon (Nicholas Le Prevost) regularly and tells him about all of the things that he sees as being wrong with his life.

During the second series, Philip becomes involved with Liz (Sue Holderness) but this new love interest merely makes life seem even more complicated than usual.
