Haver Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Coogan's back. 10PM. BBC2. Meet Tommy Saxondale, an ex-roadie with anger management issues and a pest control business. Survivor of a hostile divorce, Tommy now lives with his girlfriend Magz, proprietress of the anarchic T-shirt shop Smash the System. Tommy regards himself as a maverick and a free-thinker and takes every opportunity to impart his wisdom to his young assistant Raymond. And as well as Pharaoh ants, mice and occasionally moths, Tommy has to battle with snowboarders, pigeon-loving activists... and people who talk about property prices. While Tommy enjoys talking about himself, training Raymond in the mysterious and deadly art of pest control, and sharing a few life lessons, Raymond has little choice but to listen. He lives in Tommy's spare room and gets an uncomfortably close view of Tommy and Magzs' sparky relationship. Vicky, the receptionist who hands out the jobs for Tommy's Stealth Pest Control operation, takes 'banter' to the next level, knowing exactly how to provoke instant frustration. Tommy knows his own mind and isn't afraid to speak it. Unfortunately, those around him don't give him quite the level of respect he feels he deserves. And that's going to result in a few more visits to the anger management course. http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/saxondale/
Fierce_LiNk Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 I saw this advertised about an hour or so ago. Might watch it if the tv is not being used by family.
Monopolyman Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Well, if Coogan is anywhere near as funny as the orgasmic heights of I'm Alan Partridge', then I'll be checking it out.
The3rdChildren Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Steve Coogan is a legend. I'm definately going to try and watch this.
Haden Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Not as good as the partridge but at least a semi new character for coogan thats good. When he shot the guy I loved it lol and "you took one for the team" lol
Roostophe Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 I missed this last night. Also, the lad who plays Raymond is Rasmus Hardiker, who went to my current Secondary School, now we have another star, that includes the twins from Harry Potter (The Phelps'), the girl from Anita & Me, and the Premier League's current youngest goalscorer James Vaughan. Ooh.
triforcemario Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 It was rubbish, absolute trash. I can't belive that Steve Coogan would sink so low, especially after the brilliant "I'm Alan Partridge".
The3rdChildren Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 What I saw was amusing, enough so for me to come back for more.
Daniel Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 i loved the bit when he called the hippie ginger guy Hucknal (sp?)
Bowser57 Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 I can't belive that Steve Coogan would sink so low Eh? He slept with Courtney Love and starred in "Around The World In 80 Days". (Though I do love Alan Partridge). Didn't see the new show.
