Bob Servant

2013–2014 · 2 seasons

A cosy, cringe-inducing local comedy where a self-important buffoon bumbles through a by-election, mining gentle laughs from small-town vanity.

Overview: The Scottish town of Broughty Ferry doesn’t know what’s hit it. The sudden death of the sitting MP has resulted in a by-election that could change the political map of the UK. Bob Servant has been waiting his whole life for this level of attention and he’s willing to do anything to keep it.
How it feels: Satirical, absurd, light and cynical. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Politics, ambition, identity, media
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
