Give Us A Break - The Complete Series
The complete series and the one-off 95-minute 1984 Christmas special.
Micky Noades (Robert Lindsay) describes himself as 'an overall concepts man'. He is an ace promoter, the only problem is he has nothing to promote. Enter his brother-in-law, Mo (Paul McGann), with one redeeming feature: his outstanding talent at snooker.
Created by Geoff McQueen, this vintage British comedy drama gave Paul McGann his breakthrough role, and features an outstanding performance from British TV icon Robert Lindsay. Look out for the title song "Leave it out, give us a break. I've 'ad enough, I've 'ad all I can take!", sung by one of Britain's best-known pop personalities, Joe Brown.
