The titular electrical repairman (Tony Haygarth) has a simple life and a fertile imagination. Running his own business from a rundown street corner in Bingleton, he's more than happy with his scatty wife, Netta (Patsy Rowlands), and their beloved dog, Cuddly. However, a chance encounter with the divine, Miss Griffin (Prunella Gee), opens up Des Kinvig's life to a world far beyond that of his daydreaming imagination. Soon he's whisked away from his mundane life for regular trips to the planet Mercury, where Des must assist in preventing the dreaded Xux tribe from invading Earth. All the while, his envious friend, Jim (Colin Jeavons), is on hand to keep him down to Earth, if indeed he is leaving in the first place?!?

 A Shame...

| | See all Bowfinger's reviews (48)

The problem with this series is that it is born out of Nigel Kneale's contempt for Science Fiction fans/UFOlogists (he lumped the two groups together in his mind) after his visit to a Science Fiction convention. He was appalled at the people he met there and this comedy series is his response. If you are one of the said group(s) targetted and mocked, you may not be able to get past his closed-minded contempt of you. Not many fans did. A shame, as there was some potential here. Worth a watch, but a difficult series for some to embrace.
