Swiss Toni - The Complete Series One & Two
Swiss Toni is a proud man - proud of his car showroom, his happy marriage, his unique sense of style and his immaculately coiffured hair. He is a man's man, from a time when men wore driving gloves, curry had raisins in it and women stayed married. In his world everything can be compared to making love to a beautiful woman and he knows that the way to a lady's heart is via fine wines, Belgian chocolates and the manly smell of a pipe.
Sadly his life is fast careering off the rails. His marriage is crumbling, his business collapsing and his domineering mother (Elizabeth Spriggs) is convinced that he's actually gay.
It is down to his staff to try and hold things together. Head salesman, Geoff (Simon Day), alcoholic, bitter and fatally attracted to Swiss's put-upon wife, Ruth (Matilda Zeigler). Paul, the naïve junior salesman (Rhys Thomas) who worships Swiss and Miranda, the receptionist (Emma Rydal), a wild child who Swiss is both appalled by and secretly drawn to.
