You blokes and birds, get up!

Gary Strang and Tony Smart are two modern stereotypes of 1990s men in their thirties, taking a keen interest in booze, women and football. Gary runs a dead end burglary alarms sales office, with two old-fashioned and muted assistants: subordinates George and Anthea. Tony on the other hand, stumbles through various jobs including modeling, bar work and professional miming, due to his record stall collapsing (literally). The pair are frequently engaged in second childhood; behaving immaturely and selfishly. As a result, the relationship with the two women in their lives, Dorothy and Deborah, persistently suffers.
Dorothy, Gary’s girlfriend, is a quick-witted and sensible young nurse. The pair frequently split up, are occasionally unfaithful, but somehow always manage to get back together. Gary desperately clings to Dorothy, the only woman he can form a relationship with. Tony on the other hand has numerous girlfriends, however his true feelings are for the blonde “babe” upstairs, Deborah. Tony loves Deborah and spends most of his time chasing her around. He goes to extreme lengths to get her to sleep with him, however his feelings for her stretch far beyond lust. Deborah deep down feels a connection with Tony, however like Gary,a perpetual childhood prevents any relationship from forming.
