Written
by and starring Dan Clark, How Not To Live Your Life, is a unique and quirky comedy
that follows the antics of a typically neurotic, single young man, with an over-active
imagination, who tries and fails to navigate the basics of life.
Ever
wished life had a pause button with various options for what to do or say next?
Do you think you'd say the right thing if you went through each scenario in your
head before you uttered a sentence?
Meet Don (Dan Clark -
The Mighty Boosh, No Heroics), a man with ambition, a man in the prime of life,
a man who manages to mess up even the simplest of tasks. Each episode covers a
few days in his life as he stumbles his way through a variety of life's challenges.
When faced with any awkward situation Don's energetic imagination gets into gear
listing all of the things not to do or say in that situation. Unfortunately, each
option seems worse than the previous one.
At the climax of
series two Don's luck was about to change as it looked like he was finally going
to get it on with his flatmate, Sam. But as we rejoin desperate lothario Don in
this third series, it appears that things didn't quite go according to plan, and
each day is a trial for Don as he must face up to the fact that he blew his chance
with Sam.
To make matters worse, she has a new boyfriend who
is everything Don isn't - mature, reliable, clever and not at all self-obsessed.
Once more Don has to deal with a fraught love life that involves dates with an
aristocrat, a tramp and a really angry woman. On top of that he is sucked into
taking part in Top Gun - The Musical, tries therapy and even sells his soul to
become a corporate highflyer. But despite all this, he is still no wiser as to
how to live his life... As seen on ABC 2.
'How Not To Live
Your Life: Series 3' is available now on DVD.
