SEAN'S SHOW

'''Sean's Show''' was a UK television situation comedy broadcast on Channel 4. Stand-up comedian Sean Hughes wrote and starred as a fictionalised version of himself, aware of the fact he was living in a sitcom (the show is notably similar to It's Garry Shandling's Show in this respect).
It received a nomination for the 1992 British Comedy Award for Best Channel 4 Sitcom.
In common with a number of British shows of its era, humour often came from repetition of catch phrases or situations. These included Sean's love of The Smiths and Morrissey; conversations with a spider who was actually Elvis Presley; messages on the answerphone from Samuel Beckett and God; "That sock's still not dry"; phone calls from a girl who Sean definitely "did not lead on"; refugees in the bedroom who do nothing but comment inanely on television programmes; attempts to get scrambled egg from a saucepan and many, many more.
The first series ended with the entire main cast other than Sean killed off in various ways. When he was granted a second series, he was forced to resurrect them all in the first episode.
