When they were schoolboys, their rivalries were over soccer teams, girls, and clothes. Now that they're married men in their thirties, they compete over jobs, cars, and even the Christmas decorations on their houses. Lifelong friends Colin Armstrong (Robson Green, Reckless, Touching Evil) and Howard Scott (Mark Benton, Career Girls) are so bent on outdoing each other that they risk jeopardizing everything and everyone around them, especially their long-suffering wives, Jackie and Pauline. In the end, they find there is no escaping each other--for good or for ill, the bitterest of rivals and the best of friends.
