Saxondale | comment |
A British sitcom starring Steve Coogan as Tommy Saxondale, an ex-roadie turned Stevenage pest exterminator. Having once toured with most of the great rock bands of the 1970s (though not Led Zeppelin, not that that bothers him), Tommy considers himself to be a maverick free-thinker and independent rebel against the 'straights' and the 'squares'; in fact, he's just an opinionated fool with a trigger-hair temper who's more than a bit stuck in the past and isn't quite the rebel without a cause he likes to make himself out to be. This causes problems for his live-in girlfriend Mags (Ruth Jones), owner of a shop selling 'radical' counter-cultural merchandise, and his quiet lodger Raymond, who find themselves constantly having to dance around his moods. It also means that he's probably not going to be passing the anger management course he finds himself stuck in any time soon, much to his frustration. | |

Brilliant, but Lazy | |
Saxondale / int_355007c3 | comment |
Brilliant, but Lazy: One aspect of Tommy's character, though he's far from lazy and very conscientious about his work. While he sometimes comes across as more of a poseur than an intellectual, he does have a rather sharp mind. Presumably the 70s and his personality foibles have taken their toll on his prospects. | |

Saxondale / int_4756a7f | comment |
Bourgeois Bohemian: Tommy is something of a New Age Retro Rocker at first glance, but he's actually more in line with this trope. He and Mags seem to live in a fairly middle-class suburban neighborhood, and he owns his own business, doesn't party like he did in the 70s, wears nice, fuzzy slippers, and thinks having a tidy-up is not selling out. | |

Animal Wrongs Group: Tommy encounters a pack of these in the first episode, protesting his clearing a factory of a pigeon infestation. He ends up knee-capping one of them with a pellet gun (partly in self-defence). | |
