Manchild

Manchild was a British sitcom that ran 15 episodes from 2002 to 2003.

The series focuses on four men of a 'certain age' who have been friends for many years. Terry, Gary, James and Patrick are financially successful, but they have a difficult time realizing that this success doesn't necessarily translate into success in relationships.

Tropes used in Manchild include:

The Dandy: All four main characters to some extent.
Hey, It's That Guy!: Rupert Giles is James, and Eastenders' Carol Jackson is Cheryl.
Gold Digger: Several of the women in the foursome's lives.
May-December Romance: Subverted in that the single characters even have a rule to not sleep with women over 30.
Nouveau Riche: Again, the four main characters, just based on their Conspicuous Consumption.
