Old Channel 4 series

[samuel23]

When Channel 4 first started it had a series about two blokes (think they came from the isle of dogs). One was a black guy, the other a white guy and they had an old transit van. They were a pair of chancers and didn't seem to have regular jobs. Can anyone remember the name of this series, and is it available on dvd at all?

The series was called Prospects. It was dead funny and was based on the Isle Of Dogs. I think there was only one series made though, not sure if it is available on DVD. The actor who played the main white character was the late Gary Olsen and who was probably more famous for playing the part of the father in the BBC comedy series 2.4 Children.

cheers darmyco ~ I was beginning to think I'd imagined it. No-one I spoke to could even remeber the series let alone the name of it.
