It's what I said, Tom

Does anybody remember a comedy set in Northern Ireland about a mechanic (who I think was about to enter into a 'mixed' marriage, religious-wise)? He had a friend, who mostly said something along the lines of 'It's what I said, Tom', and a disreputable minor character called Uncle Soup (or was it Moon?).

I remember I loved it but that's about all. Pre DVD/download era when you accepted you might see a repeat and maybe video it yourself. It was a simpler time...

That'll be BBC2's Foreign Bodies. It's not available on DVD.

Thanks - I'll check that out!
