Saxondale
Created by Steve Coogan
On BBC Two
A character-driven comedy about a delusional, aging ex-roadie trapped between his rock 'n' roll fantasies and the mundane reality of suburban middle-class life, built on cringe humour and the gap between self-image and truth.
Steve Coogan plays Tommy Saxondale: an ex-roadie with anger management issues and a pest-control business. Tommy is a little arrogant, a little egotistical and feels the world owes him more respect than it typically shows him. He has an assistant named Raymond who lives in a spare room in Tommy's house, a live-in girlfriend named Magz who owns a T-shirt business, and a receptionist named Vicky who has a tendency to drive him up the wall.
