Synopsis
In a well-worn London pub, three unlikely companions pass the afternoon trading tall tales and avoiding life’s complications. A dodgy fish salesman, a husband hiding from his wife, and a regular who never seems to leave find their routines disrupted as misunderstandings, schemes and friendships collide in a warm-hearted comedy for four male leads.
Characters
- TERRY (50s) – A cheerful chancer who is trying to sell fish of questionable origin.
- GARY (40s) – Nervous, jumpy, hiding from his wife.
- LEN (60s) – A permanent fixture of the pub. Nobody can remember him ever leaving.
- PAT (50s) – The landlord. Dry wit. Has seen it all.
Setting
A corner of a traditional London pub. Afternoon.
LEN sits at the same table he always sits at, nursing a pint and reading a newspaper that appears to be several days old.
PAT polishes glasses behind the bar.
TERRY enters carrying a suspiciously large cool box.
