• Lenny – Michael Sheen
• Max – David Bradley
• Sam – Sam Kelly
• Joey – Eddie Marsan
• Teddy – Keith Allen
• Ruth – Lindsay Duncan

After living in the USA for several years, Teddy brings his wife, Ruth, home for the first time to meet his working-class family in North London, where he grew up. His Father, Max, is a retiree, uncle Sam is a chauffer, his older brother Lenny apparently a pimp, and his younger brother Joey is a boxer. Ruth finds them more familiar than their arid academic life in America.

There is much sexual tension as Ruth teases Teddy’s brothers and father and the men taunt one another in an Oedipal game of oneupmanship, resulting in Ruth staying behind with Teddy’s relatives as one of the family and Teddy returning home to America to their three sons, but without her.
