Lee, an immature individual from the north, resides in a luxurious penthouse in London. He drifts through various occupations, including working as a janitor and an ice cream vendor, while also trying to navigate romantic entanglements with his female roommates. His close friend Tim, a middle-class man who reads the Daily Mail, is constantly by his side, either preventing Lee from landing in hot water or failing to do so. Chaos is a constant companion, especially with Barbara, the cleaner, who has yet to experience a day of genuine hard work.
