Synopsis:

Russell Tovey plays Steve, a laddish man with no desire to seek employment in Stefan Golaszweski's often shocking comedy about what really goes on behind the bedroom doors of today's 20-somethings.Surviving on benefits, Steve has no dreams and no goals and he isn't bothered. He has no interest in any issues beyond eating, sleeping, drinking and having sex.Sarah Solemani plays Becky, a ladette with no desire to seek employment. Popular, true to her friends and always first to hit the dance floor when clubbing with the girls, Becky is sarcastic sometimes to the point of meanness. She sees straight through Steve but is sometimes completely unable to understand the weird self-obsession of men.This acutely-observed, forensically honest, warts-and-all comedy looks at this couple in their mid-twenties and the minutiae of their relationship. The hub of Him & Her focuses on the couple's unmade bed and their rather too lived-in bedsit.Producer Kenton Allen said of the non-broadcast pilot filmed in 2009: 'Stefan Stefan Golaszewski's searingly funny script subverts the TV couple like you've never seen before. He not only captures the essence of young Britain today but portrays - in a very funny and extremely frank way - a modern sexual relationship. Russell and Sarah Solemani have a brilliant chemistry that feels very fresh and very truthful.'

Steve [Russell Tovey] and Becky [Sarah Solemani] are young, unemployed and lazy. All they want to do is eat, drink and have sex - so they do. They don't want to get a job - so they don't. They're happy to spend their days watching DVDs in Steve's bedsit, but they're constantly interrupted by Dan - the lonely bloke from upstairs, Laura and Paul - Becky's sister and her fiancé or, most frighteningly for Steve, Becky's parents. Him & Her is an anti-romantic comedy, lifting the lid on love as it really is - warts and all - with farts, bickering and toast.
