Close But No Cigar
Synopsis
Thrust into a world of debt collectors, armed Campervan robberies, dog kidnappers and even an unsuspected psychopath, the pair along with Uncle George – the nemesis responsible for their predicaments - work through the comedy of errors that unfold never quite getting to the bottom of things. They get close, but no cigar!
