Men Behaving Badly: Simon Nye

Now that Deborah's moved into the flat upstairs, Gary and Dermot have been in an uproar. Both of them love her, badly. They angle and vie for her, steal and pine longingly for her...Gary offers Deborah money, commitment and evenings in listening to the radio. Dermot stresses traditional values, such as sexual performance. Deborah, meanwhile, is giving as little information as possible. She's been hurt before, she says...and it could be she wants to do some hurting of her own...This is not the novel of the TV series - it's the novel that inspired the comedy TV series starring Martin Clunes, Harry Enfield, Neil Morrisey, Leslie Ash and Caroline Quentin.
