Synopsis:

Married Single Other is the brand new comedy drama that tells the story of three couples trying to work out what a couple is these days. This humorous romantic take on modern day life stars Amanda Abbington, Lucy Davis, Shaun Dooley, Dean Lennox Kelly, Ralf Little and Miranda Raison. Married Babs has realised her relationship is in real trouble. She can no longer live with her useless, but lovable, husband, Dickie, who has a unique talent for spending his days and her income on 'great ideas', none of which ever materialise. Frustrated by his frivolous approach to life, Babs is faced with one of the biggest decisions of her life. Should she divorce Dickie after all they've been through together? Single Clint, Dickie's brother, has never dated the same girl twice. Until he meets Abbey, a gorgeous model, who turns his world upside down and makes him question his one night stand approach to relationships. For the first time in his life he wants a proper relationship. And in order to persuade her he's boyfriend material, Clint has to change his attitude to love and romance. Is he a confirmed womaniser or will he settle down and be faithful to one woman for the rest of his life? The other are childhood sweethearts, Lillie and Eddie, who have been together for 16 years and are blissfully happy. Eddie has actually proposed on 16 occasions, but each time he crashes and burns. Lillie still refuses to wed Eddie, claiming she loves him too much to marry him. However, when she encounters an abusive husband, whilst working at the women's refuge, her opinion on life dramatically changes. She also never realised how much her young son, and child prodigy, Joe wanted her to marry his dad until she finds his blue scrapbook containing all his research on weddings. This is a life changing moment for Lillie as the impact of what she's discovered sinks in.

When an elderly female patient who spoke glowingly of her happy marriage, dies,Eddie asks Lillie to reconsider but she declines, influenced by seeing too many marriages go wrong at the refuge where she works.
