A comedy drama, written by Magnus Mackintosh, and starring Jamie Sives as Hector, an optimistic but struggling 42-year-old single father, with long-term mental health issues, who lives in Edinburgh with his unusually bright 10-year-old son William. He is aided by kindly friend and neighbour Susan and hindered by acerbic ex-partner Amanda.
In episode four, Say It Out Loud, Hector makes big steps as he is encouraged by his therapist to face his demons. He also has to face Susan and Amanda, who are both dealing with unexpected and unwanted revelations in their love lives. Thankfully neighbour Mrs Harrington is around to spread some unexpected merriment and William, his usual calm and wisdom.
