Greg Davies, acclaimed stand-up comedian, and Mr Gilbert in the hit TV series and film The Inbetweeners, writes and stars in the new comedy series, which also features Roisin Conaty, Rik Mayall, Deirdre Mullins, Mike Wozniak, Gwyneth Powell and Jeany Spark. Dan's world is at near collapse: his girlfriend Naomi is fast running out of patience with his inability to navigate the simplest of life tasks, while his best friends are Jo who has, what can only be described as, the loosest of grasp on reality and Brian, a straight-laced financial adviser who is regularly dumbfounded by the complete idiocy of his two friends. Dan's listless teaching career sees him begrudgingly teach a version of the same lesson every day, nevertheless making him inexplicably popular with all but one of the pupils. His only highlight is flirting with head mistress, Miss Lipsey who really views him with a mixture of pity and despair. In the first episode, Dan has lost his trousers and is in danger of losing his girlfriend. He hates his job, his dad is out to get him, his friends can't help him and there's a tailor on the war path. Events conspire to keep this Man Down.
