I’m trying my darnest to remember… but my memory fails me as usual. Its a program that was presented in chapters and more or less sequential. Its about a small town and the wierdo characters within. The greatest riot are was the clumsy veterinarian that killed all his pets and a disgusting couple that took care of a small shop and killed all the “non-locals”. The husband keeps shouting “LOCAL”. ``` Other characters included a piss drinking wacko and a tyrannical Job training instructor. It was a riot and very politically incorrect. Anyone remember the name of the series or of an actor in it ? ``` ---

I thought series 3 was brilliant!! Obviously it was another few miles down the road to insanity, but I loved it. ---

> [@GorillaMan](#): > > I thought series 3 was brilliant!! Obviously it was another few miles down the road to insanity, but I loved it. You’re the first person I’ve spoken to that liked series 3. (Although I have to admit, I gave up on it after 3 or 4 episodes.) ---

It probably helped watching the first episode with a bunch of equally-weird-minded friends, on a big screen in a pub, after an afternoon drinking 😉 ---

> [@GorillaMan](#): > > It probably helped watching the first episode with a bunch of equally-weird-minded friends, on a big screen in a pub, after an afternoon drinking 😉 True. I actually have a bad memory associated with watching the first episode of the third series. So that may have a little something to do with it. That, and the fact it was crap. 🙂
