Summary

Fancy (Dave King) and his friend Alastair (Joe Marcell) wander through the town, discussing life and all of it's mysteries at length.

Each episode is interspersed with fantasy sequences, mostly taking place inside Fancy's mind.

A surreal, dialogue-based comedy that bears some resemblance to Anthony Newley's sitcom, The Strange World Of Gurney Slade, which was shown in 1960.
