Saxondale – 17 Jul 2006

This recording opens with trailers for The Story of Light Entertainmentand Rob Brydon’s Annually Retentive.

Then, another episode of Saxondale. Tommy definitely has an issue with the bloke next to him in anger management farting.

Vicki Pepperdine appears as a woman with a squirrel problem, but who doesn’t want them killed.

Raymond goes to an 80s disco (to Tommy’s disgust) and meets Tina, played by Sarah Hadland.

There’s a crisis when they find a dead squirrel in their humane trap. They have to sneak out so as not to upset the homeowner.

Tommy is having trouble with his fitness.

He goes to the gym, puts too much weight on the machine, and does himself a mischief.

Media Centre Description: Comedy series about Tom Saxondale, an ex-roadie now running a pest control business in suburbia.

After this, there’s a trailer for Excuse My French, and for Grumpy Old Holidays.

Plus a nice trailer for the new Proms season.

Then, the start of Newsnight, leading with conflict between Israel and Lebanon.
