Bully for middle-aged males. Now they have their own Sex and the City in this British series (starting a four-week run Aug. 2). Anthony Stewart Head (Giles on Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Nigel Havers are divorcés on the prowl, Don Warrington is a never-wed sophisticate, and Ray Burdis is the ambivalent family man, envying his chums' freedom while shakily upholding the virtue of responsibility. The comedy gets raunchy on the subject of genital-enhancement surgery, but the irony is well observed and the cast is first-rate, including Lindsay Coulson as Burdis's straightforward wife.

Bottom Line: Give this guy thing a try
