Man Down is a British sitcom first broadcast on 18 October 2013 on Channel 4 and starring Greg Davies as Dan, a man who hates his job as a teacher and who recently broke up with his girlfriend, and Rik Mayall as his father in the first series.
Channel 4 commissioned an additional 25-minute Christmas special before the first series aired, and a second series was announced during Davies's live tour "The Back of My Mum's Head", though this was prior to Rik Mayall's death in June 2014. Following Mayall's death, Davies met with Channel 4, to discuss the future of the show (Mayall had been intended to have a more prominent role in Series 2). On 28 November 2014, Channel 4 announced that Man Down would return for a second Christmas special on 23 December 2014 with a second series due to follow on 1 June 2015. In October 2015, Channel 4 ordered a third series, which began broadcasting from 13 July 2016. On 8 November 2016 Greg Davies officially confirmed the renewal of the show for a fourth season consisting of 6 episodes which will air in 2017.
