Synopsis:

From the multiple BAFTA Award winning writer, Steven Moffat (Coupling, Press Gang, Doctor Who, Jekyll, Tin Tin) comes the first series of Joking Apart, starring Robert Bathurst and Fiona Gillies. First shown in 1993, the series was a huge cult hit, and has been eagerly awaited on DVD ever since. Comedy writer Mark Taylor knows he has found the woman of his dreams when he meets Becky, and sweeps her off her feet with his non-stop, quick-fire one-liners. But five years on, Mark doesn't realise that the joke has worn thin, and a surprise party for Becky changes his life completely. Told in flashback, this award-winning bittersweet comedy has it all; laughter and tears, joy and pain.

Black comedy in which writer Mark Taylor's wife leaves him, after an eventful marriage which begins at her father's funeral and finishes at a surprise party.

A stand-up comic talks about his failed marriage.
