Further details

The first show of this brand new series sees Dom disguised as an unorthodox vicar who sets about causing havoc in the Cotswolds. How will members of the public react to such unholy antics as stealing an ambulance or pushing an old lady off a bridge?

Unsuspecting tourists and locals alike fall foul to Dom's 'Happy To Help' booth situated in Oxford, Cambridge and Bath. But all is not what it seems as his unconventional behavior leaves his customers about as 'unhelped' as humanly possible.

Dom's overzealous Health and Safety officer causes havoc in Liverpool. The famous Scouse sense of humour is stetched to the limit when he cautions supposedly speeding Mobility Scooter Drivers.
