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.

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.
