dan is a childish idiot trapped in an adult's life. he has crushing character flaws, a uniquely
dysfunctional set of friends, a teaching job he loathes, and a wilfully insane father conspiring to keep
this man down. dan's world is at near collapse as man down starts. his girlfriend naomi is fast running
out of patience with his inability to navigate the simplest of life tasks, while his best friends are jo who
has, what can only be described as, the loosest of grasp on reality and brian, a straight-laced financial
adviser who is regularly dumbfounded by the complete idiocy of his two friends.
to compound matters dan's listless teaching career sees him begrudgingly teach a version of the same
lesson every day, inexplicably popular with all but one of the pupils, with his only highlight coming in
the form of miss lipsey, a head mistress who views dan with a mixture of pity and despair. dan is also
tormented daily by his father, whose driving motivation in life seems to be to ensure his son is
humiliated at every turn and to physically him while keeping under the radar of his wife and dan's mum.
