Mount Pleasant was a British comedy-drama television series that aired on Sky Living from 2011 to 2017. The show was set in the fictional town of Mount Pleasant in Manchester and followed the lives of a group of families and their daily struggles. The show's main character is Lisa Johnson (Sally Lindsay), a bored housewife who dreams of running her own business. She's married to Dan (Daniel Ryan), a plumber, and has two children. Lisa constantly puts everyone else's needs before her own, but she yearns for more excitement in her life.

Throughout the series, we see Lisa navigate through various challenges, from dealing with her annoying in-laws to reconciling with her estranged father. She also frequently clashes with her neighbor, Fergus (Neil Fitzmaurice), who's in love with her.

Dan, Lisa's husband, is often portrayed as the more laid-back parent who isn't too concerned with the housework or the children's activities. He's usually happy to let Lisa take the lead on most things and enjoys spending time with his friends down at the pub. However, as the series progresses, viewers see Dan step up and become a more involved husband and father.

Ainsley Howard plays Tanya, Lisa's best friend and business partner. Tanya is a no-nonsense woman who often serves as Lisa's voice of reason. She's married to Bradley (Paul Hilton), a handsome but lazy man who rarely contributes to the household. Tanya struggles to balance her work life with her personal life, but she remains a cheerful and dependable friend to Lisa.

Another couple in the show is Greg (Tom Goodman-Hill) and his wife, Clare (Samantha Womack). They are more financially stable than the other families in Mount Pleasant and are often seen as the "posh" couple. Greg is a successful businessman, while Clare is a stay-at-home mom who enjoys volunteering at her children's school. They often try to give advice to the other characters but sometimes come across as snobbish.

The show also focuses on the relationships between the children in the families. Lisa and Dan's daughter, Ella (Ellie Kolstakis), navigates through her teenager years and her first serious relationship. Meanwhile, Tanya's daughter, Amber (Nathalie Emmanuel), starts a new job and experiences a tumultuous romance. The children's storylines are woven in with the adults' lives, creating a portrait of a tight-knit community.

Mount Pleasant is a heartwarming and humorous show that deals with real-life issues in a relatable way. From marriage troubles to financial stress, the characters face challenges that many viewers can identify with. The show's witty writing and strong performances from the cast make it a must-watch for fans of British comedy-dramas.

Mount Pleasant is a series that ran for 6 seasons (53 episodes) between August 21, 2011 and on Sky Living
