Fortysomething is a Britcom starring Hugh Laurie as Paul Slippery, a London general practitioner who begins to suspect that he's hearing other people's thoughts — most notably those of his wife, Estelle. But when you consider that Estelle has started working for an ambiguously flirtatious power lesbian, Paul's eldest son (Benedict Cumberbatch) is bent on revenge against his middle son for stealing his girlfriend (whilst involved with her sister!), Paul's youngest son is using the family home as a base for various entrepreneurial activities, his colleague (Peter Capaldi) is completely bonkers, and he can't even make an intimate dinner for his wife without his entire family asking for a taste of "Proud Banana"... well, it's not completely unreasonable that Paul would go a little mad.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The show ran for one six-episode series on ITV in 2003 and was released on DVD in the summer of 2008, at which point it was known in America as "that TV show where House plays a nice doctor". Since the fall of 2010, it has become known as "that TV show where House is Sherlock's dad", and from 2013 onwards as "that TV show where House and Sherlock have a ham-off with the Twelfth Doctor".Not to be confused with the late '80s/early '90s ABC show thirtysomething. | |

Heel–Face Turn | |
| Fortysomething / int_617f0563 | comment |
Heel–Face Turn: Subverted. Pilfrey feels like becoming a good person and tries his best to help Paul, but his jealousy of Estelle and envy for having a family is way too strong. | |

Hearing Voices: Probably Paul's imagination, but it's never conclusively settled. | |

Dawson Casting: Benedict Cumberbatch was about six or seven years older than university student Rory; sixteen-year-old Edwin was played by twenty-year-old Joe Van Moyland. | |
