- Synopsis:
An unexpected pregnancy leads to an unusual living arrangement in this hilarious comedy about two chaotic, deeply flawed characters - who just happen to be father and daughter. When hedonistic 24-year-old Gemma (Aimee Lou Wood) discovers she's pregnant after a random hook-up, she has no choice but to turn to her hapless father, Malcolm for support. Recently divorced from Gemma's mum (who made off with their joint savings to 'Eat, Pray, Love' her way around the world), Malcolm (David Morrissey) is unable to load a washing machine, boil an egg or microwave rice without it exploding. Up until now, he has been living in squalor with fellow divorcee Derek (David Fynn), so when Gemma's own flatmate decides to move out, the combination of financial desperation and a desire to not be totally alone makes her resort to the unthinkable: she asks her dad to move in with her. Because what's the worst that could happen...? From dating disasters and failed romances through to toxic friendships and messy family dynamics, plus a dangerously sociopathic antenatal teacher, 'Daddy Issues' is an affectionate heart-warming story between father and daughter and the reality of facing up to parenthood - at any stage of life. - Actors:
