The second series of the popular British sitcom
Men Behaving Badly brought a change in personnel, but the comedy remained the same: Two men at the mercy of their own worst impulses. Gary (jug-eared Martin Clunes) and his new roommate Tony ('70s flashback Neil Morrissey) both lust after their blonde upstairs neighbor Deborah (Leslie Ash), often humiliating Gary's "sort of" girlfriend Dorothy (Caroline Quentin) along the way. Deborah initially took a fancy to Tony, but a clumsy make-out session and some poorly timed comments turned her interest sour. Gary tries to steal a collectible record of Dorothy's, insults his secretary until she quits, makes a drunken pass at Deborah when they're trapped in an elevator, and generally acts surly, sneaky, and shiftless--all to good comic effect, thanks to Clunes's surprisingly subtle performance. Tony doesn't quite achieve three dimensions in this series, but Gary's boorishness, though laughable and embarrassing, somehow maintains its humanity. By avoiding outright absurdity (while creeping awfully close to it),
Men Behaving Badly keeps its audience emotionally engaged as well as entertained.
