| Synopsis: |
Bad-tempered, wheelchair-bound Brian Potter runs a Bolton
social club called The Phoenix. He is low on luck though as
the club has been closed many times with problems ranging from
fires to floods. The struggling Phoenix club is staffed by an
odd bunch including licensee Jerry St Clair. |
| BCG Review: |
"Phoenix Nights" is a brilliant sitcom from the
always funny Peter Kay. Critically acclaimed and an instant
cult hit, this very oddball sitcom has quickly moved into the
mainstream thanks to a host of memorable characters, clever
writing and amusing situations. |
| Notes: |
Phoenix Nights began life as a one-off episode of "That
Peter Kay Thing" called "In The Club". The first
series included Kay's name in the title however this was dropped
in the second series. News reports suggest Kay may infact write a third series after all. |
