What happens

Plus One is a British sitcom written and created by Tim Allsop and Stewart Williams, originally broadcast in 2007 as part of Channel 4's Comedy Showcase, before a full five episode series was commissioned and began transmitting on 9 January 2009. The program was produced by production company Kudos and directed by Sarah O'Gorman. It centres itself around a "record producer" (of music compilation albums) Rob Black (Daniel Mays), whose girlfriend (Miranda Raison) has dumped him to marry "Duncan from Blue". Rob's life is turned upside-down when he is invited to the wedding and feels that he must have a 'plus one' who will "blow everyone away." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
