Synopsis:

Harry and Nancy are an unassuming English couple leading a simple life in the northern town of Gigglewaite. What makes them special is that they are happy, deliriously so, in their marriage. Nancy dies in a tragic fire, however, leaving Harry bereft, dealing not only with the void that has opened in his life, but with a son whose grief is expressed as an angry rejection of his father. Wanting to be left alone to lick his wounds, Harry is in danger of disappearing into his sorrow. But, as chance would have it, Nancy registered her husband for a popular television show before she died. Harry is appalled: there is no way he is going down to London to appear on Cheeky, a vulgar but amazingly popular programme that, between trivia questions, features the contestants hurling insults at each other. Only after much urging by his worried friends does Harry sheepishly enter the preliminary round.

Toyshop owner Harry Sankey leads a simple life in the quiet Northern town of Gigglewaite, but the sudden and tragic death of Nancy, his beloved wife soon turns it all upside down. He then finds himself trying to cope, just as unsuccessfully, with the unusual role of quiz show contestant, believing it to be Nancy's last wish for him to participate in the popular but bizarre TV show "Cheeky".

Consumed with sadness after the death of his wife and subsequent rejection from his son, a widower, at the urging of his friends, opts to appear on a vulgar, wildly popular game show (for which his wife signed him up) and watches his life start to change for the better.
