 Rated 8/10
Shown on UK Channel 4 the show has lots of adult themed content (swearing, nudity, etc.). The core subject (gay life in Manchester) can also be off putting to some however I found this series very enjoyable, at times very funny, as well as addressing some very serious issues.

The drama follows Henry Best, a gay middle aged insurance salesman addressing his own issues regarding his relationships and sexuality. Following a split with a long term partner he moves in with small group of much younger men who seem to live the lifestyle he thinks he so desperately wants.

The series consisted of eight episodes all written by Russell T Davies.

A lttle bit of trivia; the title was inspired by a scientific study into the male erection which divided the erection into a hardness scale consisting of tofu, peeled banana, banana, and cucumber.
