Enter the weird and wonderfully twisted world of Royston Vasey - an isolated and rather odd town somewhere in the North. Its singular inhabitants lead dark lives, from Dr Chinnery, the lethally incompetent vet to Pauline, the monstrous Restart Officer at the Job Centre. The town's strange inhabitants are ferried about by Barbara, the meaty taxi-driving transsexual and served by Tubbs and Edward, the inbred local shop-owning couple with a mortal hatred of strangers.
