Autumn: Wedding
Geoff and Linda’s impending nuptials bring about problems of language and groom kissing! Stars Adam Riches. From 2017.
Linda and Geoff make the final preparations for their wedding
There's lots to be done - the choice of best men and who's allowed to kiss the groom, preys on Geoff's mind.
Then there's the questionable assistance of the juggling Danish Kurd, Soran, accident prone Ian and the Gothic brother-in-law, Anders, as they prepare Geoff's Svensexa (or stag do).
Will Geoff survive the celebrations? Will he understand a word of his own marriage ceremony? And will his parents-in-law stop laughing at him?
Danny Robins' sitcom, set and recorded in Sweden.
Starring Edinburgh Comedy Award-winner Adam Riches, Danny Robins and a cast of Sweden's most popular TV comedy actors.
It's three years since Geoff moved to the tiny north Swedish town of Yxsjö with his girlfriend Linda. It has been quite a culture shock and they've been through a lot in three years - rotting herring, moose and bears, battles with language, perfect ex-boyfriends and ice hockey, the birth of a son, a marriage proposal and a runaway hot-air balloon.
This year promises much as Geoff's mother-in-law Gunilla teaches him Swedish and his father-in-law Sten tries to make a Swedish man of him - in an entirely non-sexist way. Geoff and Linda start to plan their wedding with the questionable help of fellow ex-pat divorcee Ian, Linda's brother, depressive Goth Anders and fellow immigrant, Kurdish Dane, Soran.
