I loved it too - I love Victoria Wood and Vic Reeves, and you are right, everyone was ace in it.

Bryan Dick is from Carlisle, same as me. I don't exactly know him but he used to work behind the bar at a 'top Carlisle nightclub' and he sold me a good few bottles of dodgy cheap lager over the years. He is very good. His 'barman' was fine, don't get me wrong, but I think he's better at the acting lark.
