Synopsis[edit]
Dave and James, who live on one side of the street, decide to make a spreadsheet detailing everything they owe each other. Meanwhile, Lucy and Alex, who live opposite, fall out over plans for Saturday night – ice skating or dinner party. A new girl named Maya moves into Lucy and Alex's flat but soon questions what she has walked into. The light in the bathroom never works, and assertive control freak Lucy keeps causing trouble.[3]
