If you've never come across this gem, think a Scottish version of "The Commitments", but less gritty.
This is a very funny series that is knowing in a self-deprecating way. What a pity it was so short and has been aired so few times; at least in Australia, where I saw it.
The original music by Guy Pratt is catchy with lyrics that partner well with the wise-cracking script.
Ciarán McMenamin is winning and believable as Jez. He and Simone Lahbib (Fiona) create some real chemistry.
Genuinely entertaining!
