HANG UPS is an unconventional comedy about an unconventional therapist trying to keep his unconventional life, and patients, from falling apart.

Stephen Mangan (Episodes, Green Wing, Dirk Gently) stars as Dr. Richard Pitt, a therapist with a chequered professional career, who finds himself at a crossroads in life – a crossroads precipitated by the startling realisation that his life appears to be falling apart at the seams…

After the collapse of his previous group therapy practice, Richard is no longer able to conduct the traditional 50-minute sessions most therapists have with their patients. Instead, he’s developed a new form of therapy – weekly quick-fire sessions with his patients which take place online, 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...

HANG UPS is adapted from the Emmy-nominated series WEB THERAPY created by Lisa Kudrow, Dan Bucatinsky and Don Roos and will be broadcast on Channel 4 in 2018.

FremantleMedia International will distribute HANG UPS internationally.
