What's the Sitcom

    Looking for some help from the TV forum. I was trying to think of a UK TV sitcom that aired back in the late 90's. Round about 96-99 if I remember correctly. It had a guy called Martin in it who had red hair. He was in a house with either one other guy or perhaps a few but I can't remember the other guys. I think the basis of the sitcom was that he was either a bit thick or a bit sensible and the others were a bit more in your face. His girlfriend was a nurse, played by an Irish actress. That's what actually got me trying to remember this comedy as I wanted to see who the Irish actress was on IMDB.
    Another part of the plot was that I think the girlfriend became pregnant at some stage, it was a plotline. The theme tune to the show was done by The Sundays. That's all I can remember now. I think it aired on Fridays around 8 or 9ish. It's a long time ago now so I can't be certain but it wasn't a bad comedy, or so I thought so at the time anyway. Does it ring any bells with anyone?

    I remember the sitcom. Was Samantha Janus in it?

    I know the theme tune went along the lines of "where I find my heaven"

    Game On!

    Thanks guys! That's the one! Not sure how I thought it was The Sundays who did the theme! Must be all the watching that before heading for the pub that warped the braincells over time :)

    Thanks a million!

    Another thread about 'Game On' here here

    I like this story about when they changed actors during the show's run :D

    For those who don't know, Ben Chaplin played a one of the central characters (Matt) for the first season and then left to go to Hollywood (last seen in Sky One's 'Mad Dogs' earlier this year). So they brought in Neil Stuke to play the same character in the second season. The change was ignored.. but then they made a little nod to that at the end of an episode (in the 2nd or 3rd season) where the 3 of them are sitting on the couch, and Mandy and Martin make a comment about Roseanne about how silly it was when they changed the actress who played Becky. And then both stared at Matthew.

    A-ha.. from Wiki:
