Phoenix Nights
Created by Peter Kay, Dave Spikey
On Channel 4
A warmly irreverent British sitcom about a determined nightclub owner in Bolton, built on character comedy and the comfort of a small ensemble's weekly misadventures.
The owner of The Phoenix Club is the wheelchair-bound Brian Potter, who has presided over two clubs in the past: the first (The Aquarius) flooded, the second (The Neptune) burned down. His ambition (with the help of Jerry St Clair) is to see The Phoenix Club become the most popular in Bolton and thus outdo his arch-nemesis, Den Perry, owner of rival club The Banana Grove.
