Men UP

BBC1’s moving but wryly funny drama Men Up is inspired by the true story of one of the first medical trials into Viagra.

Penned by Matthew Barry, the one-off upcoming film follows a group of very different men who head to Swansea’s Morriston Hospital in 1994 to be part of the testing into a new revolutionary drug, which they hope can cure their impotency.
