Out-Takes
The week before a wedding can be
stressful at the best of times, but
as hapless publisher Howard Steel
(Ben Miller, Malice Aforethought) prepares to marry
the lovely Mel (Sarah Alexander, Coupling),
it becomes a nightmare of
gargantuan proportions. Everything that can go wrong?does.
Howard's earnest attempts to do the right thing only seem to
make matters worse and his situation isn't helped by his dad's
new girlfriend, a besotted old flame and a family funeral.
Will Howard and Mel ever make it up the aisle?
