A, sadly, under-appreciated and little known show - probably due to the time slot it was given and lack of advertising by its host channel (you know who you are!) Not helped by the fact that it was never repeated. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of people who watched it way back in the early nineties.
But this is a great show - off the wall humour, bizarre situations (a werewolf who performs open heart surgery?) and lapses into Shakespeare now and again all provided by three superb actors.
A personal favourite was the episode that featured a visit by a psychiatrist - courtesy of Bell's 'liaison' with a horse. It's not long before this visitor is sucked into the guards' warped world and the eventual outcome is... Well I won't say anymore.
If you like your comedy to have that slightly surreal edge then this is the show for you.
I'm first in line for the DVD release, just make it sooner rather than later please.
