I really love this comedy gem from the brilliantly talented scriptwriter Andy Hamilton, I am a huge fan of all of his work.
I am yet to watch the TV version of the show, as unfortunately I didn't manage to see the original broadcasts.
I have only heard it on radio and thoroughly enjoyed every single episode, I'm still annoyed at the BBC's failure to commission any further series.
For me this an absolute comedy must such that, I have to get the entire radio and TV series forthwith.
The radio show is about a PR agency that primarily represents sports people, though it will represent anyone with deep enough pockets.
It is run by two completely diverse individuals Trevor Heslop and Sammy Dobbs, with absolutely diametrically opposed views on life, the universe and everything.
Sammy Dobbs is an utterly reprehensible individual with absolutely no moral compass, who is simply personified by Paul Reynolds.
Trevor Heslop is frankly his own worst enemy, he's kind, considerate, and far too malleable for his own good. Neil Pearson absolutely nails his every quirk and idiosyncrasy, uncannily so that he could almost be Trevor.
The entire cast are fully rounded characters that are played to perfection by splendid actors, each fitting together seamlessly to show us the complete agency.
A stand out character that appears throughout the series episodes is Ralph Renton, who simply has to be experienced to be believed. He is played by Michael Fenton Stevens to such an extent that I sincerely hope, he didn't carry this character home with him after work. He is one of my absolutely favourite character actors on radio comedies, and his numerous appearances attest to his true versatility.
