Might have been as unfunny as Butterflies, although it just seems utterly unmemorable. It was featured in one of the Cunk History programmes |

This is what I remember off the top of my head: It featured Karl Howman and Gary Waldhorn in the main roles. Howman played the loveable romeo Jacko who works as a painter and decorator for the miserable Lionel, but spends most of his time flirting with any woman he meets, especially Lionel's attractive daughter. Lionel's wife also has a thing for Jacko, who remains resolutely single, and lives wife his sister and brother-in-law Mike, who he also works with. Mije is the opposite of Jacko, a devoted husband and father. Jacko wears a brown leather jacket. The theme tune was by Kevin Rowland (Dexys). The show wasn't the best or the worst. Gary Waldhorn would go on to be better known for playing David Horton in The Vicar of Dibley. Karl Howman is a pretty sound guy, judging by his social media. |

[Correction: Jacko's brother-in-law was called Eric, he was played by the actor Mike Walling]

Brush Strokes sounds disturbingly like ‘Just good Friends’, and still utterly unmemorable although I’m sure I watched it….
