The following is a list of episodes of How Not to Live Your Life, a British sitcom, written by and starring Dan Clark, about a neurotic twenty-nine-year-old man who is trying to navigate his way through life but is not helped by his bad instincts.
With Abby gone for six months, Don wants a stripper to move into the spare room who has a Latex fetish, but Eddie insists on a mature student he met. So they take the two girls out to an 80s-themed restaurant called the Nineteen Eaties to test which one would be most suitable.
Don becomes jealous of Samantha's new boyfriend Jackson (Julian Barratt) who outdoes Don in musical talent. After listening to Samantha's advice he decides to write a song about Abby, which goes disastrously wrong. Sam eventually dumps Jackson after finding out Jackson slept with Don's current girlfriend.
Series 3 of How Not to Live Your Life began on 8 November 2010 at 22:00 on BBC Three with a double-bill of both Episodes 1 and 2. .
There was also be a Christmas Special episode aired on 13 December 2010 on BBC Three.
It's December in the Danbury household but there's nothing festive about Don's state of mind: the house is freezing because the boiler keeps breaking down; the toilet doesn't work; Mrs Treacher's losing the plot (and control of her bowels); Don's got a dead end job in a shoe shop and his friendship with Sam is no closer to becoming the romance he yearns for. Things suddenly take a turn for the better when he receives news he has finally paid off his gran's debts and is free to sell the house. However, rather than winning Sam's heart it only drives them further apart as he impulsively sells to a property developer who plans to knock it down and Eddie has to put Treacher into an old people's home.
To coincide with the first broadcast of series two on UK television, a number of exclusive web videos were published on the BBC website. The specially shot scenes featured Don, Eddie and Mrs Treacher. A series of songs featuring Don and new character Jackson were also published.
