It's BBC3's most successful sitcom ever, so of course it's back for series two. Writer Stefan Golaszewski's low-key, handily low-budget visits to the flat inhabited by laid-back Steve (Russell Tovey) have barely changed, with the main development being that Steve's sexy, tolerant girlfriend Becky (Sarah Solemani) has moved in, not that she's got round to unpacking much.
Interrupting their regime of toast, sex and lying about are the friends and family who bring the funnies in from the outside world. They're lazy smiles rather than belly laughs, making this a show that requires your mood to match its own - but Steve's ex Julie (Katie Lyons) dropping in, this series promises a bit of drama, too.
Jack Seale, Radio Times, 1st November 2011Sarah Solemani on Him & Her
In the audition for Him & Her I had to snog about six blokes. That's because they picked the first scene of Episode 1 where Steve compliments Becky about being good at oral sex.
Sarah Solemani, BBC Comedy, 1st November 2011The anti-romantic comedy Him & Her returns for a second series, once again focusing on the lives of feckless, unemployed twentysomethings Steve (Russell Tovey) and Becky (Sarah Solemani). BBC Three's most successful sitcom, its crude, one-track simplicity can wear thin quickly.

Ben Lawrence, TV Choice, 25th October 2011An interview with Stefan Golaszewski
Today we have an interview with Stefan Golaszewski who, amongst other things, was the Cambridge Footlights President from 2002-2003, part of the insanely good comedy sketch group Cowards (along with Tim Key, Tom Basden & Lloyd Woolf), and writer/creator of the BBC Three series Him & Her.
The Humourdor, 29th September 2011First shown on BBC Three last autumn, this sitcom gets its first terrestrial airing. It's based in the bedsit of unemployed twentysomething couple Steve (Being Human's excellent Russell Tovey) and Becky (comedian Sarah Solemani) as the pair laze around in bed, drinking, eating, having sex and bickering. It's low-key, slightly grubby and observational in the vein of The Royle Family.
