| - Men Behaving Badly is a British comedy, which was first broadcast in 1992 on the ITV network, but moved to BBC One (and a later timeslot) from the third series onwards. It was written and created by Simon Nye, who also wrote a book in the 1980s, which forms the basis for much of the first series.
The first series features Martin Clunes as Gary Strang, and Harry Enfield as his flat mate, Dermot Povey. From series two onwards, Enfield is replaced by Neil Morrissey as Tony Smart, who resumes Dermot's role as the immature under-achiever, perpetually behind in his rent, and hopelessly in love with Deborah, who lives in the flat above. Despite Gary's initial reservations, Tony soon replaces Dermot in the role of Gary's best friend. (Tony and Dermot are similar in character, although Dermot was slightly more introverted and repressed). It is reported that Enfield has claimed he felt uncomfortable in the programme, and left stating that a "proper actor" would do the job far better. Dermot is only mentioned twice after his departure, the first to explain that he simply isn't coming home, and the second in the first episode of series five, when Dorothy recalls him to which Gary replies "Did I tell you he got a job at Euro-Disney, testing the rides?"
The first series featuring Enfield has never been repeated on the BBC, although the second ITV series has been shown. Simon Nye has stated that ITV picked up the series partly because Enfield agreed to star in it. However the ITV network axed the show after just two series, due to poor audience figures. It has been claimed that this was due to ITV giving it a poor slot in the schedules, forcing the "bad behaviour" to be toned down. The BBC quickly snapped it up, airing the show in a later timeslot, with the result that it soon turned into one of the biggest situation comedies of the 1990s.
The show was controversially voted the best sitcom in the BBC's history at the corporation's 60th anniversary celebrations in 1996. In the BBC's later quest to find Britain's Best Sitcom, commissioned in 2004, it came sixteenth.
All series were produced by Hartswood Films. Thames Television co-produced the first two series for ITV and assisted with production from the third series onwards. (en)
