Synopsis
The Worst Week of My Life (2004) is a BBC One British comedy series — watch online on iFILM. Written by Mark Bussell and Justin Sbresni, it stars Ben Miller as Howard, a man who turns the seven days before his wedding into a sustained, escalating catastrophe.
Howard's intentions are fine. The execution is not. Every fix he attempts opens a fresh disaster, usually in front of his future in-laws. Emma Pierson plays his fiancée; Alison Stedman and Ronald Pickup are the parents waiting to be won over. The show ran for two series and a three-part Christmas special — The Worst Christmas of My Life (2006) — which suggests the format survived contact with an audience.
British cringe comedy has a distinct register: no cartoon exaggeration, just ordinary people in situations that deteriorate at a credible pace. This is one of the genre's tidier examples — compact episodes, a reliable escalation engine, and Miller playing decent-guy-doomed with enough dignity to make the falls land.
