Programme:	Swiss Toni
Filmed:	2003 - present   (BBC3)
Episodes:	14 (2 series)
Starring:	Charlie Higson, Matilda Ziegler, Simon Day
Written by:	Charlie Higson
Synopsis:	Sitcom about an eccentric second-hand car dealer and his staff. With his blonde quiff standing to attention and his grey shot-silk suit sparkling under the showroom lights, Swiss Toni is the emperor of his car emporium; and yet the guy cannot sell an Allegro, is being taught to drive by his long-suffering wife Ruth and is consistently out-performed by his alcoholic employee, Geoff. Swiss Toni is cheesy, out-of-date and chauvinistic - which is why everyone loves him.
BSG Review:	Based around Charlie Higson's Fast Show character who claims everything is somehow like 'making love to a beautiful woman' this sitcom is a low-budget but some what entertaining way to spend half an hour. Not top of the comedy ladder but not letting the side down either - one thing is amazing though, the number of analogies the writers have managed to come up with. Respect also has to be given to Higson who has managed the near impossible of extending a sketch-show character into a full blown two series (and counting) sitcom.
