Rob Lyon (Tony), Catherine Bryant (Deborah), Chris Jones (Gary) and Alison Pritchard (Dorothy) in Men Behaving Badly at the Forum Studio Theatre in Chester

Men Behaving Badly at the Forum Studio Theatre in Hamilton Place at 7.30pm on Saturday. Voted the best sitcom in the BBC’s history at BBC TV’s 60th anniversary celebrations in 1996, Men Behaving Badly by Simon Nye comes to the stage! Gary and Tony are two beer-guzzling flatmates, revelling in a second – some might argue extended – childhood. This generally means hours of TV, lager and mindless talks about women. This is just the kind of behaviour that puts their relationships with Dorothy (Gary’s long suffering girlfriend) and Deborah (an attractive blonde in the flat above) in terminal jeopardy. RJ Productions is proud to present three episodes of the classic sitcom in what is believed to be a first on stage. Tickets £10. Call 01244 341296 or visit www.tiptopproductions.co.uk.
