BBC Four's new comedy series, Bob Servant Independent, follows the trials and tribulations of Bob Servant (Brian Cox) as he endeavours to sell himself, relentlessly, to the good people of Broughty Ferry.
The series stars Brian Cox with Jonathan Watson, Pollyanna McIntosh, and Rufus Jones and will transmit on BBC Four from early January.
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 (Brian Cox) has been waiting his whole life for this level of attention and he's willing to do anything to keep it.
Bob sells himself as a man of the people but doesn't really like people. He also has absolutely no understanding of the political process and uses the by election campaign as a heaven sent opportunity for self promotion.
His campaign manager is Frank (Jonathan Watson), Bob's long suffering best friend and neighbour, and their love hate relationship is a central aspect of Bob Servant Independent.
Brian Cox said: "As a Dundee man I am very excited to be in this comedy set in Broughty Ferry. With the comic writing skills of fellow Dundonian, Neil Forsyth, and the audacious spirit of Bob Servant it captures the very essence of the unique East Coast humour."
As the series progresses, Bob has an increasingly fractious relationship with the favourite to win the seat, a slick professional politician called Nick Edwards (Rufus Jones). Bob also struggles to deal with Edwards' campaign manager (and wife),fake van cleef flower necklace, Philippa Edwards (Pollyanna McIntosh), a smart, no nonsense woman, always two steps ahead of Frank.
The two campaigns jar markedly while the series builds to the natural climax of election night. He's been a supporter of the Bob Servant cause for a long time. To be honest, Bob would probably be disappointed that he's been overlooked to play himself, but even he would reluctantly accept Brian taking up the challenge."
Bob Servant Independent is written by Neil Forsyth and produced by Owen Bell.
It was commissioned by BBC Four and Cheryl Taylor, former Controller, Comedy Commissioning, and Mark Freeland (BBC Four) and Ewan Angus (BBC Scotland) are the co executive producers.
Character profilesBob Servant (played by Brian Cox)
Businessman, raconteur, optimist and a man of endless ambition, Bob Servant is a hero for our troubled times. Born and bred in Broughty Ferry, Servant sees it as his natural fiefdom. This belief stems largely from Servant's dominant position in Broughty Ferry's notorious 'Cheeseburger Wars' a period of riotous appreciation for the snack that caused madness on the streets and lined Servant's pockets. Now retired and living in his stylish riverside house, with its much admired (by him) extension,fake van cleef necklace price, Servant is looking for a new cause. When it's announced that Broughty Ferry is to have a by election, one man is ready and willing to step back into the limelight. Bob Servant, Independent.
Frank (played by Jonathan Watson)
Bob Servant's great loyalist is Frank, the ultimate right hand man who has spent decades under Bob's close tutelage. Frank was Director of Sauces on the cheeseburger vans and now has a similarly impressive title Campaign Manager for Bob Servant Independent. It's a job he takes very, very seriously. Nothing would make Frank happier than helping his best friend and mentor win the by election.
Bob's View on Frank "The Dean to my Torvill,replica van cleef and arpels butterfly necklace."
Nick Edwards (played by Rufus Jones)
A Westminster protg, Nick Edwards is a career politician who descends on Broughty Ferry to wow the locals and pick up what he sees as a safe seat. He heads up an impressive operation. Slick, well funded, highly organised,van cleef & arpels necklace price, the Edwards campaign is everything that Bob and Frank are not. Nick has come here to win a by election but no amount of political training could have prepared him for the experience of taking on Bob Servant.
Bob's view on Nick "Wet behind the ears."
Philippa Edwards (played by Pollyanna McIntosh)
The power behind the Edwards throne, Philippa Edwards is a smooth political operator here to guide her husband to by election success. Elegant, highly intelligent and domineering, she is greeted with utter confusion by Bob and Frank. The cheeseburger industry was not a place for powerful women. For Frank, who as Campaign Manager is Philippa's direct rival, she is all his nightmares come true.
Bob's view on Philippa "Basically just a pretty Hitler."
Lady Provost (played by Victoria Liddelle)
Rhona McDonald is the Lady Provost of Broughty Ferry. A long term observer of Bob Servant, she is dismayed to see the arrival into the race of a man who made money while "reintroducing scurvy" to Broughty Ferry. She is impressed by the urbane Edwards, and watches in horror as Bob somehow battles himself into the by election race.
Bob's view on Lady Provost "You give someone a special necklace and they think they're Mother Theresa."
