CRUISE CONTROL

About the show

Set aboard the Queen Mary II, destined for New York, three unhappy couples all in the throes of marital turbulence find they have filled in their paperwork incorrectly and are now locked into designated seating for meals. Richard, an obnoxious Oxford-educated novelist with a sharp tongue, and his long-suffering wife Fiona find themselves sharing a table with elderly New Yorkers Sol and Sally Wasserman and Australian surf wear mogul Darren and his wife Imogen. As their days on board draw on and Richard's patience dips, his philandering turns reckless and his behaviour even more loathsome.
