a tribute site to some of the best in BBC comedies, captured here in the form of Windows95 Desktop Themes for you to download and enjoy. This page is my tribute to the hit BBC TV comedy show Men Behaving Badly featuring the talents of Martin Clunes, Neil Morrissey, Caroline Quentin and Leslie Ash as the principle characters Gary, Tony, Dorothy and Deborah. The following picture introduces our heroes Tony and Gary in a typical beerish pose.

Tony and Gary are a couple of likely lads who definitely do not fall into the category of 90's modern man! Gary owns the downstairs flat of the house where most of the action takes place, that is when they are not in the pub. Tony is the lodger and helps pay the bills but has yet to pay a penny rent. Dorothy works as a nurse at the local hospital and Deborah owns the flat above Gary's. Deborah started out as the manageress in a local wine bar until she was made redundant. Gary is in a relationship with Dorothy. Tony would like to be in a relationship with Deborah and constantly reminds Debs of his affections for her.

As you may have guessed from this thumbnail sketch, the main theme running throughout this sitcom is the interaction between two young men and two young women and err, well male hormones and beer!! To say that Gary and Tony lack some of the finesse necessary to win the hearts and minds of the Totty upstairs would be putting it mildly. Their flat is usually a tip and their manners gross to say the least. But love wins through in the end and the girls get their men.

There have been a total of six series of this hit TV sitcom with the first two series shown on ITV network and the last four on the BBC, together with a Christmas Special in 1997. The first series of Men Behaving Badly appeared on British TV in February 1992 with Gary played by Martin Clunes with his original flat mate, Dermot, played by Harry Enfield. Dermot had disappeared by the second series, broadcast in September/October 1992, to be replaced by Tony. Series 3 followed in the summer of 1994 and was the first to shown on the BBC at the later time of 10pm, This allowed the script writers to be somewhat more liberal with the plot and the series enjoyed considerable success in this new format and slot. The last series, series 6, in which Tony finally makes it with Debs is likely to have been the last and I hope we shall be able to enjoy re-runs of this popular comedy for many years to come..

Visit the Totally Unofficial Men Behaving Badly Web Site. I think they have taken the behaving badly theme too far, literally. Don't bother to download "their" beta desktop theme - apart from the (naff) wallpaper and startup screen it's a complete rip off of my MBB theme right down to all the wav files, icons etc.

Visit Matt's MBB Rip Off Corner Another comedian who thinks he can rip off my Men Behaving Badly Theme - he even ripped off the banner can you believe. Worth a visit to see what an ar*eh*le does with his spare time!
