Alexandria Riley is in BBC comedy drama ‘Men Up’

Inspired by the remarkable true story of one of the world’s first medical trials for the Viagra, new film Men Up is a poignant and beautiful story in which a group of unassuming men rise to the challenge to reclaim their sex lives.

In this fictionalised account, Men Up follows Meurig , Colin, Tommy, Peetham ‘Pete’ and Eddie in pursuit of their ultimate reward… the return of a romantic connection in their lives.

But as the drug brings the hope of a return to that once-lost intimacy, the men realise the hard work has only just begun. The trial will take them to some very unexpected places and force them to re-assess their lives.

Watch L&C’s wonderful Alexandria Riley as Alys Shah in ‘Men Up’ on Friday 29 December on BBC1 and BBC iPlayer.
