The Perrys have it all — money, friends and status in the community — but their marriage seems to have landed in a rut. As they make their traditional New Year's resolutions together, Matthew declares to Julia that he wants something more — to be able to travel abroad, to play golf everyday, to spend more time at his club. Thus, he resolves to kill her by next New Year's Eve so he will be free to pursue his heart's desires. Julia takes his resolution in her stride and resolves to remain alive. Their games begin and they let no one stand in their ways as they attempt to keep their resolutions as the year goes by. To liven things up, we add the Perry's spoiled, dim-witted and shallow daughter Bunny, her bright and forgiving boyfriend Donald and their plans for their wedding on the following New Year's Eve. We also have to deal with Buttram, the Perry's longtime butler who harbours a dreadful secret — or two. Entering into the fray is a bumbling police detective named Plotnik who tries to figure out "who-done-it"… assuming that something really has been done. Who will succeed in his or her resolution, and who gets caught in the crossfire?

When Tom and Barbara Good decide to exchange the pressures of the rat race for an alternative, more sustainable way of living, they set about turning their suburban home in Surbiton into a model of self-sufficiency. They grow their own fruit and veg, keep livestock in the garden, make their own clothes, and even generate their own electricity from manure.It's the good life for them - but not for Margo and Jerry Leadbetter, who live next door, and are desperately trying to maintain the Surbiton status quo. Jeremy Sams's stage play, based on the hugely popular sitcom by John Esmonde and Bob Larbey, reunites the well-loved characters as they get themselves into and out of scrapes - some old, some new, all hilarious.
