Like Nick Helm's BBC3 comedy Uncle, this period sitcom from Sky Atlantic begins with a botched suicide attempt, but (as with Uncle) the tone lightens significantly from there. Nick Frost plays the titular Sloane, a man out of time in a swinging 60s, separated from his wife and out of work, but ploughing on regardless. Created by Curb Your Enthusiasm alum Robert B Weide, it boasts a supporting cast including Peter Serafinowicz and Olivia Colman.

Rising actress Ophelia Lovibond is too smart to settle for playing characterless babes. She talks about her obsession with the 60s, her love of silly humour and entertaining Mr Sloane (aka Nick Frost) in her latest TV series.

The Big Issue, 25th February 2014Cuban Fury - review
Nimble-footed stars such as Nick Frost, Chris O'Dowd and Olivia Colman step lively in a comedy that doesn't quite fill the floor.
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 14th February 2014Nick Frost interview
Nick Frost follows the fine tradition of big guys who can shake it on the dancefloor.
Shari Low, Emily Retter, The Mirror, 14th February 2014A bit like seeing Stan without Ollie or Eric minus Ernie, Nick Frost has ditched Simon Pegg to go it alone in a generally enjoyable if forgettable British romantic comedy.
Fans of Strictly should find plenty to enjoy here, even if the story is far from memorable.
Bullied by local yobs into hanging up his dancing shoes as a child, the now adult Bruce (Frost) it tempted to return to the ballroom after learning his foxy new boss is a huge salsa fan.
You don't need a degree in rom-coms to know the whole thing is going to end in a dazzling dance contest but, for an hour and a half, Frost and co-stars Rashida Jones and Chris O'Dowd provide amiable enough company.
David Edwards, The Mirror, 14th February 2014Ahead of Nick Frost shimmying on to the big screen in Cuban Fury, this is a reminder of how we came to love him: his double act with Simon Pegg.
Clearly aimed at 'breaking the States', it sees two girlfriendless geeks (Frost and Pegg) embark on a US road trip to Area 51.
Here they meet Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen), a potty-mouthed, dope-smoking alien who crash-landed on Earth and is now on the run from the US government's men in black.
A winning mix of fart gags and feel-good humour, with Kristen Wiig (Bridesmaids) giving the token female love interest role some memorable oompf as a one-eyed Christian fundamentalist.
