Life's a Gamble

Episode 3 of 4

Rita faces a challenging French gig and her husband's chaotic casino visit with some eccentrics. With Martin Bergman. From April 2013.

The third episode of American comedian Rita Rudner's new sitcom - written by herself and her real life husband, Martin Bergman.

Rita continues to face somewhat challenging circumstances as she returns to the UK after a fifteen year break. With the help of her husband Martin (Martin Trenaman), she tries to re-establish her comedy career in the UK and her agent arranges for her to play a gig for a French industrialist - with chaotic results.

Rita and Martin are also helped by the bizarre Mrs Harrison (the wonderful Phylida Law), a hotelier who has introduced them to an array of slightly off kilter characters. And Martin decides to assemble a scratch team of card players to win a fortune at a casino and, not unexpectedly, things don't quite go to plan!

Again featuring some classic stand-up comedy from Rita, this old-fashioned style sitcom has a sterling supporting cast, including Martin Bergman, Michael Fenton-Stevens, Dominic Frisby and Vivienne Avramoff.
