Written by Robert Delamere and Stephen Mangan, Hang Ups is
an unconventional comedy about an unconventional therapist trying to keep his
unconventional life, and patients, from falling apart.
Mangan stars as Dr. Richard Pitt, a therapist who finds
himself at a crossroads in life. After the collapse of his previous group
therapy practice, Richard develops a new form of therapy – weekly quick-fire
sessions with his patients through a webcam. The few patients on his list
present a hilarious and outrageous catalogue of neuroses, phobias, issues,
anxieties and psychopathies, but even these short sessions, where he’s
confronted by everything from the sublime to the ridiculous, are not his
greatest challenge… His patience and temperament are stretched to their limit
by the daily interruptions of a demanding extended family, errant teenagers and
his own trouble-filled past.
As we posted yesterday, David Tennant will take on the role of Martin Lamb, an eerie cloakroom attendant who doesn't like to talk to people.
The all-star cast also includes Richard E. Grant, Jessica Hynes, Arsher Ali, Charles Dance, Katherine Parkinson and Celia Imrie
amongst others.
