One Season Wonders

I just saw an episode of the show for the first time.
I thought it was really funny. If anyone has seen it, it was the episode with the sweaty guy.
I couldn't find it on the websites shows.
Anyone else see it or have an opinion?

This is on ... PBS? I think that 'One Season Wonders' is their season of programming, showing British sitcoms which ran for only one series - as the name suggests!

OOooooooh! LOL! Yes it was on PBS. I thought it was an odd title.
I wonder what the show was called then because it was really funny!
It seemed like the female secretary was the main character and she worked for a toy company.

Seeing as that's sorted, I thought that this thread would be about everyone's favourite "One Season Wonders". To which I was going to suggest,

Vic & Bobs Catterick and The Last Chancers.

Darkplace!

Yes!

Curt has Chicken McNuggets for brains. ;)

Seriously though, hmm, toy company... Sounds like Office Gossip. Starring Pauline Quirke.

I'd really love to see it again, if anyone should have a copy. :)

On a related note - I quite enjoyed Man to Man with Dean Lerner. Ayode and Berry = pure class.

Isn't there an ITV1 sitcom that's been sitting on the shelf for about 7 years?

I think it was called 'Odd Socks' or something. Set in a launderette (I think), and starring Linda Robson and Linda Bellingham.

Must be good!

Yea that was it!
It was a funny show. Good characters. They all seemed to be acting like they'd been doing their characters for more than 1 season.

That Craig Charles Channel 4 series Captain Butler was only on for one series, and thought it was good, also An Actor's Life For Me.
