COUNT ARTHUR STRONG - SERIES ONE

Category: Comedy

Rating: PG

Info:

Variety star, bit-part actor, life model, medium, entrepreneur, enjoyer of breakfasts and inexplicable count, nothing is outside his area of expertise.

The creator of Count Arthur, Steve Delaney, joins with Graham Linehan, to bring this stage legend and radio favourite to the screen at last.

Into Arthur's world comes Michael Baker, the son of his vastly more successful former double-act partner, Max. Michael (Rory Kinnear) is professionally and personally adrift, an author whose last shot at the popularity he craves is a book about his Dad, the King of Saturday Night... but last time he met Arthur he burst into tears and wet himself. Thirty years on, it seems that Arthur is still capable of embarrassing him one way or another.

Arthur whiles away the hours wheeling and dealing in the London cafe run by fearsome Bulent (Chris Ryman) and his mischievous sister Sinem (Zahra Ahmadi), waiting for the call that will catapult him to the big time. In the meantime, his friends John the Watch (Andy Linden), Eggy (Dave Plimmer), Katya (Ruth Posner) and now Michael, cope with the chaos that he causes but never notices...
