Time of My Life

1980 · 1 season

A steady, wry British sitcom where one ordinary man's life keeps unravelling while he keeps a stiff upper lip.

Overview: Ken Archer has worked for the same company for 33 years. Then, one day, he's told that he is about to be made redundant. To make a bad day even worse, Ken's wife Joan tells him that she is leaving him for a man 20 years younger. Things continue to go from bad to worse as Kern is subsequently mugged, taken hostage, arrested and committed to an asylum.
How it feels: Satirical, cynical, melancholic and absurd. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Work, family, betrayal, isolation
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
