What is Lee and Dean about?

Lee is a ladies' man who loves drinking and is always happy to 'have a go' at a building job, even if he knows full well that he isn't capable of doing it properly. By contrast, Dean is an amateur poet and naturalist who doesn't fit anyone's idea of a typical builder. But the pair have been best friends since childhood, and even when their bond is threatened by Lee's new girlfriend Nikki taking up his precious time – much to Dean's dismay – it seems that there's nothing that can break apart their bromance.

Also upset by Lee's new relationship is his ex, Mrs Bryce-D'Souza, who tries to sabotage his relationship and keep Lee for herself. As it is revealed that Dean's interest in Lee is also more than just platonic, the drama builds to new heights.

The format of the show is similar to People Just Do Nothing and This Country, with deliberately shaky shots that attempt to make the show believable. In general the series was moderately well-received: at RadioTimes.com we rated it as the 32nd best show of 2018.
