Colin from Accounts on BBC iPlayer review - kooky Aussie comedy takes pot shots at the traditional rom-com

Two attractive, single, strangers meet in unlikely circumstances and, following a series of comic mishaps, discover they have a connection in spite of their differences. So far, so conventional, but Australian series Colin from Accounts takes the ‘romance’ part of the rom-com hostage and refuses to accept it is anything but a kooky, gross-out comedy right up until the series finale.

The story picks up in a part of Sydney akin to Shoreditch. Ashley (Harriet Dyer), a medical student in her late 20s, has been dumped and is handling her break-up in traditional drunken style when she flashes a boob at a handsome stranger driving past.
