Living with strangers can be challenging, but things get even more complicated when your landlord is a well-meaning divorcee who may be a little too enthusiastic about having housemates. Rob Brydon stars in Bill’s Included, a new BBC comedy series about an unlikely group of people brought together under one roof.
Bill Beam is looking for a way to bring in some extra money, so he decides to open his home to students. What starts as a practical solution quickly turns into a rather chaotic living arrangement, as Bill finds himself sharing his space with a collection of very different personalities.
A mismatched group of housemates soon discovers that getting along isn’t quite as easy as expected. And with Bill’s boundless enthusiasm often adding to the confusion, everyday domestic life becomes a steady stream of awkward encounters and comic misunderstandings.
