The first series, from 1989, includes bewildered Scotsmen Don and George, troubled pensioner Bert Bastard, a little girl with a lot of knowledge, and mind-crushing simpleton Calum Gilhooley.
Absolutely returns for a second go, moving from scene to seen with an erratic bounce of oddball narrative logic and creating a surreal comic world described as 'fresh, funny and often strangely sad'.
The original cast and original characters made it through for the final flourish, which broadcast in 1993. Songs, animations, a bearded man who laughs a lot and a worrying posse of surgeons.
