This is a proper old-fashioned laugh out loud comedy caper.
The plot is a simple one: a guy called Deacon decides to steal some money from his horrible boss to pay for IVF. Deacon has never even stolen a paper clip before so clearly this plan hasn't been well thought out!
Each solution Deacon comes up with to resolve the problems his previous ideas have caused obviously make things ten times worse - each consequence, ten times funnier.
I've always found Katharine Ryan funny but I can't say I've ever rated Romesh Ranganathan before but as a result of watching this, which he co-wrote, I reckon he is clearly a comedy genius. Also, Johnny Vegas would not usually be on my list of people I'd go out of my way to see on my tv but with such a well written role like this he's brilliant. Absurdly over the top, loud, foul-mouthed and vulgar but totally hilarious.
It's presented in six half hour episodes but since each one ends on a cliffhanger, I dare you not to be able to watch them all in one go.
