Dave is a lovely man in his late 30s, happily living in the midst and mess of a pretty typical 21st century family. He adores his partner Rita, even when she’s difficult (which is quite often) and he loves their kids. But when Rita dies suddenly, Dave faces the daunting prospect of bringing up their children on his own, as well as coping with his and his children’s grief.
Things get even more complicated when he begins to fall in love with his wife’s best friend, Sarah. Is Dave betraying Rita by falling in love again so quickly, or will he be walking away from happiness if he ignores his feelings? With his children at the centre of his world, Dave worries what will happen when they find out. Single Father asks how soon is too soon to fall in love again?

Starring David Tennant, Suranne Jones, Laura Fraser & Rupert Graves.
