Jonathan is forced to change his ways for the sake of his son Spencer, who he then runs away with after his partner Claire decides that the marriage is over.

Romesh said: 'Avoidance is about a conflict-avoidant beta male, who is so frustrating to live with that his partner leaves.

‘He is then forced to try and sort himself out, for the sake of his son.

‘He ends up staying with his sister and her wife…it’s funnier than it sounds.

‘It’s supposed to be funny with a bit of heart, but I’d settle for mildly diverting at this point.’

Is there a trailer?

A trailer for Avoidance was released on Youtube by the BBC last month.
