A Bear’s Tail takes the traditional sit-com format and trashes it. The Bear, realising he’s in a sit-com and with the help of a scriptwriter played by Dexter Fletcher, makes up the rules as he goes along. The first thing written into the show is satellite TV, bringing with it a number of film and TV spoofs starring Avid Merrion and Bo’Selecta! rubber masked favourites Craig David, Michael Jackson, Mel B and Trisha.
As well as cameo appearances from celebrities including Kelly Osborne, Bob Mortimer, Dermot O’Leary, Kirsty Gallacher and Jordan, Leigh Francis also brings a host of new characters to life. These include nosey neighbour Sue Dales, a Scottish transsexual living with fellow transsexual Dave Ian McCall (played by Davina McCall), Keith Lemon, entrepreneur and lady’s man and Asian film nerd Corey Haim.
A Bear’s Tail is a Bellyache production written by Leigh Francis, produced and directed by Ben Palmer with John Noel as executive producer.
