Bill and Esme archiveYouth and beauty are all you need to succeed. So where does that leave veteran comedian Bill Cantor when TV execs scrap his daytime quiz show Wheel of Fate in favour of wall-to-wall gardening, cookery and DIY? More to the point, what about Sarah Quartermaine? A Turner Prize-winning artist at 25, yet all washed up by 27. Can this unlikely pairing make even a dint on the ratings by teaming up in a most unlikely lat night arts programme? Tune in for The Bill Cantor Story and find out...Then again, if drugs and money are all you need where does that leave Alan, a strait-laced, honest, loving, but jobless middle-aged father? On the day Alan's divorce comes through, daughter Louise brings home the boyfriend from hell - Liam Gallagher with a GCSE. So much for legacy! Worse still, a third generation is on hand to add fuel to the fire in the guise of Esme, Alan's aged but no-nonsense mother. Three generations in one household, riots down the road and a stolen car racket next-door-but-one. This is Esme and Louise - a wry comedy of manners. Family feuding was seldom so much fun!
