Imelda Staunton’s a fan, viewers adore it and it’s inspired by the real-life marriage of its stars. The duo behind 2023’s most hilariously joyful sitcom talk breast flashes, sex scenes and disabled dogs
What do the Queen, Doctor Who and death-eating Lucius Malfoy have in common? The stars who play them are all avowed fans of the Australian sitcom Colin from Accounts – the word-of-mouth sensation that sees two singletons go on a romantic journey after a dog is hit by a car.
Not only is it a hilariously joyful piece of TV, but it also features one of the year’s most distinctive meetings between two characters. Particularly given that the car accident happens due to 29-year-old student doctor Ashley having a particularly novel way of thanking fortysomething microbrewery owner Gordon for letting her cross the road – impulsively flashing her breast and causing him to hit a stray dog.
