Andy Capp is a British sitcom based on the cartoon Andy Capp. It starred James Bolam and ran for one series in 1988. It was written by Keith Waterhouse. Unusually, for a sitcom, there was no studio audience during the filming of Andy Capp. It was made for the ITV network by Thames Television. Andy Capp is a slothful man from Hartlepool, whose life consists of drinking, sleeping, watching TV, betting, going to the pub and occasionally playing football. His wife, Flo, is constantly annoyed by her lazy husband and frequently uses a rolling pin as a weapon.
Everyone Andy knows is urging him to do something special for his and Flo's 25th anniversary, but he's not bothered about it, even when all of the bill collectors forfeit this month's payments so that he has the money to really celebrate, but he refuses. He takes Flo to the pub, where she gets so angry that she jumps into the river at low tide.

Flo decides to follow Andy for a day to prove to him how easy his life is, but she gets so exhausted that she can't wait to return to her own jobs.
