'Orrible (2001)

EndedScripted showComedy

Paul Clark is a cab driver and wannabe small-time criminal, assisted by his best friend and partner in crime, Sean, whom amusingly misapprehends the sticky kerfuffle they always seem to to get themselves into, with his less than average intelligence, sparking an abundance of more problematic endeavors, which end up with the wrong result. These two oddities; Sean who has a pathological compulsion of lying accompanied by boasting about his scams with "mastermind- criminal acquaintances" and Sean's aggressive but never could be regressive nature only exacerbates their problems. They spend most of their time, either boasting or moaning about them with a pint in the local pub; run by Tim, who is constantly deceptive, with their friends getting a great kick from their mishaps.

New Best Friend

Paul gets out of prison to discover that Lee's mother has commandeered his bedroom, the policeman who arrested him has moved into Di's bed while Sean is working for his hated rival Reuben, residing in a penthouse apartment with high class prostitutes on tap and driving a top of the range BMW. Paul ends up in the pub - he talks to Tim about his bad luck, blaming whoever dumped Ronnie Bryant's body in the canal for the whole, sorry mess. On the way home he is kidnapped and driven to a remote field where he discovers, to his horror, that it is Ronnie Bryant's killer who has swagged him. The assassin informs Paul that he has two choices : thirty grand in cash and leave Acton forever, or his 'old life' back. Paul returns to the pub where the Annual Karaoke Challenge is in full swing. He discovers that Lee's mother is living and working in the pub, DI Dodds has left Di, Reuben has put his hands up for the gear, and that Tim is the mystery assassin. He sings 'Love Lift Us Up Where We Belong' as a karaoke tune, joined by the newly freed Sean. Together they re-enact the famous Richard Gere/Debra Winger last scene from 'AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN'.
