Leonard and Hungry Paul follows two board-gaming friends in their thirties. Leonard, a ghost writer of children’s encyclopaedias, and Hungry Paul, a part-time postal worker who still lives at home, who meander through leafy suburban life finding solace in their quiet routines.
The unexpected death of Leonard’s mother, the approaching wedding of Hungry Paul’s sister and a tentative new romance for Leonard, prompts both men to meet a world that is suddenly wider and full of unfamiliar possibilities.
Laurie Kynaston stars as ‘Hungry Paul’ in the six-part comedy drama series that airs on BBC One Northern Ireland and BBC iPlayer on Friday 17 October and BBC Two on Monday 20 October.
