Rab C. Nesbitt
Created by Ian Pattison
On BBC One
A darkly comic British sitcom that uses fourth-wall-breaking satire and a sympathetic drunk protagonist to examine working-class self-destruction with both irreverence and melancholy.
BBC comedy series about Rab C. Nesbitt, a drunken, string-vested layabout who lives with his long-suffering wife Mary and his two sons in the working class area of Govan in Glasgow. When he's not getting drunk with his pals that include the devious, womanising Jamesie Cotter, he's offering his philosophical outlook on life to whoever will listen.
