Tommy Saxondale (Steve Coogan) was once a roadie for all the greats; Purple, Floyd, Genesis. Back then youth culture meant counter-culture, and refusing to conform to the suburban dream. Now Tommy's a pest controller in Stevenage and living in suburbia, but he's still railing against the system.

Only these days the system means blokes in suits who listen to Dido. Following Tommy's hostile divorce, he met his soulmate in Magz (Ruth Jones), who runs "Smash the System"; the t-shirt shop that keeps authority figures running scared, usually by selling images of them smoking a joint. Completing Tommy's surrogate family is his young lodger Raymond (Rasmus Hardicker); pest control trainee and uncomprehending disciple of Tommy's worldly wisdom. Being self-educated, Tommy often feels that he's surrounded by idiots. Like when he has to visit Vicky (Morwenna Banks) who dispenses work contracts and gross insult. Vicky is just one of the many reasons why Tommy's anger management therapy sessions won't be ending any time soon. Through it all, Tommy Saxondale is still the smartest and the dumbest guy in the room.

Starring the award-winning comedy duo Mitchell and Webb, and with an all-star ensemble cast including Matthew Macfadyen, Keeley Hawes and Tom Hollander, Ambassadors is a sharply written comedy about a British Embassy where things are a little more Yes, Prime Minister than Spooks. Keith Davis (David Mitchell) is the newly appointed British Ambassador to the fictional Central Asian Republic of Tazbekistan; oil rich, corrupt and ruled over by The Prez - a dictator with a penchant for vodka fuelled hunting parties. Standing beside Keith is his small but appealing gang; Neil Tilly (Robert Webb), the long-suffering Deputy Head of Mission; Caitlin, the no-nonsense Head of Consular Affairs; Natalie, a beautiful local employee who understands the Tazbeks, but can't quite get it right about British eccentricities, and then there's POD (Matthew Macfadyen) - nicknamed Prince of Darkness - Keith's superior at the Foreign Office, and Isabel - Trade and Political Secretary who has her eye on the top. Keith's doctor wife Jennifer (Keeley Hawes) is there to support him, even if it means making small talk with lecherous local officials the Embassy need to impress. These guys haven't seen a Ferrero Rocher in years.
