Freezing

Freezing is a BBC comedy series starring Hugh Bonneville and Elizabeth McGovern about an otherwise successful couple in their forties who find themselves out of work. Matt is a publisher who has recently lost his job and Elizabeth is an Oscar-nominated American actress who is having a hard time getting work since moving to live with Matt in London. Freezing was originally a one-off comedy as part of BBC Four's Tight Spot season in February 2007, which then became the first episode of the series when it aired on BBC Two in February 2008. Freezing is written by James Wood and directed by Simon Curtis.
