How Not to Live Your Life

The British Comedy Guide said of the show, "The 2007 pilot of this sitcom was average at best, lacking both focus and reason.

We really enjoyed the full series though - the stronger premise (Don living in his deceased gran's house and plotting to dispense of Karl and win-over attractive Abby) and the new character of Eddie (David Armand in his best role yet) made all the difference." However, Deborah Orr in The Independent newspaper said in a review of the first episode, "It's a dead cert that How Not to Live Your Life will attract no prizes at all.

Okay, don't pity her too much, because she's drop dead gorgeous and clearly in demand as an actor.

But it must have been galling to get the second lead in sitcom How Not to Live Your Life, only to discover that the full extent of your contribution would be to look pretty and provide a sensible foil to the show's writer/star Dan Clark.

Would it have killed Clark to throw the show's only female character the occasional funny line to deliver?

In 2006, Clark was commissioned to write two short comedies for Paramount Comedy 1 – Dan Clark's Guide to Dating and Dan Clark's Guide to Working.
