After You've Gone(2007)

After You've Gone is a British sitcom that aired on BBC One from 2007 to 2008. The three-season comedy follows Jimmy Venables, a handyman played by Nicholas Lyndhurst, who finds himself managing a chaotic household after his ex-wife Ann leaves for Africa to aid flood relief efforts. Left to care for his teenage children and his sharp-tongued mother-in-law Diana, Jimmy navigates the messy realities of single parenthood and family dynamics. Celia Imrie brings wit to Diana's role, while Dani Harmer and Ryan Sampson round out the cast. The show balances humor with genuine heart as Jimmy struggles to keep his unconventional family unit together, discovering that sometimes the people we're stuck with become the ones we can't live without.
