Despite his betrayal, Sam remains sweetly endearing. Lucy, meanwhile, is being pursued romantically by a dashing but arrogant clientDshe's a film agentDand against her wishes, Sam is secretly using their troubles and diaries as inspiration for the screenplay he is finally writing. Sam, a frustrated would-be writer, is in the middle of a creative block, and he is also on the verge of losing his less-than-enthralling job as an executive at the BBC. Yet sperm tests, full-moon ""bonks"" on Primrose Hill, annoying New Age home remedies and Lucy's long-distance ""adoption"" of an endangered baby gorilla are not their only concerns. The two diaries tell the story, with often hilariously divergent perspectives on the couple's reproductive struggle. When Lucy decides that their childlessness is at least partly due to the stress brought on by their efforts to conceive, she insists that they each keep diaries, to privately sort out their thoughts and emotions. Despite their repeated efforts, Sam and Lucy Bell, the loving yet infertile protagonists of British comedian Elton's (Popcorn) romantic comedy, cannot conceive a baby.
