Hung Out" is a British situation comedy that aired in 2010 as part of the Channel 4 Comedy Lab strand. The Comedy Lab is a series of pilot commissions aimed at showcasing new and innovative comedy talent. The plot of "Hung Out" centers on two friends, Rob (portrayed by Matt King) and Ryan (portrayed by Alex Kirk), who, following their 20th birthdays, decide to take a break from their routine lives. The series chronicles their adventures and misadventures, often resulting in chaos and hilarity.[1]
Intelligent and socially awkward, Dave always argues with flatmate James.
James is like a big baby – friendly, but unpredictable when provoked. He owes money to Dave.
Alex, attractive and cocky, lacks a defined sense of self.
Lucy considers herself independent but requires external validation.
Although Maya considers herself a free-spirited hippy, she appears uptight to others.
Dave and James, who live on one side of the street, decide to make a spreadsheet detailing everything they owe each other. Meanwhile, Lucy and Alex, who live opposite of Dave and James, fall out over plans for Saturday night – ice skating or dinner party. A new girl named Maya moves into Lucy and Alex's flat, but soon questions what she has walked into. The light in the bathroom never works, and assertive control freak Lucy keeps causing trouble.[1]
