Fear, Stress and Anger

Look out next Thursday at 9pm on BBC2 for a new sitcom featuring Peter Davison, Fear, Stress and Anger. Davison plays Martin Chadwick who works in advertising and, because of an office reorganisation, is forced against his will to work from home. It’s interesting that homeworking is the central McGuffin of a new primetime-ish sitcom, but I have my fears that it will be stuffed with all the usual clichés – look out for working in pyjamas, homeworking as an excuse to do no work, watching daytime television, and being sidetracked from important deadlines by domestic distractions.
