The Parole Officer

The Parole Officer

Steve Coogan made his first bid for a big-screen career in this comedy, in which he plays Simon Garden, a singularly inept parole officer who has not had terribly good luck with his clients - after many years on the job, only three of the former prisoners he's been looking after have avoided returning to a life of crime.

Garden is transferred from his post in Blackpool to a new assignment in Manchester, and it isn't long before he finds himself in hot water.

First released: Monday 18th March 2002
