It's About Time...

Comedian and writer Dave Cohen seeks help from experts in trying to achieve a 'work-life balance'. He hardly sees his family, because the only time he is not working he is looking for more work. Years of freelancing and the current economic climate make it hard to say no to any offer. Dave also interviews Simon Blackwell, the co-writer of The Thick Of It and The Old Guys, about his work-life balance.
