Steve Coogan plays Tommy Saxondale: an ex-roadie with anger management issues and a pest-control business. Tommy is a little arrogant, a little egotistical and feels the world owes him more respect than it typically shows him. He has an assistant named Raymond who lives in a spare room in Tommy's house, a live-in girlfriend named Magz who owns a T-shirt business, and a receptionist named Vicky who has a tendency to drive him up the wall.
Tommy tracks down an old friend, Malcolm "Rabies" Jessop (Simon Greenall) only to discover he now runs his own 'New Media' company and wears a suit. Tommy also revisits his past as a roadie by briefly stepping in to man the mixing desk of a Queen tribute band, only to discover that they too are far from the Rock'N'Roll spirit he used to know.
Tommy and Raymond go out shooting pigeons and save a man from committing suicide. However, as they try to change his outlook on life, Tommy believes something sinister is afoot, and his paranoia reaches a near-fatal conclusion in a karaoke club.
Tommy defends a group of local squatters against small-minded suburban prejudice. Neighbours Jonathan and Beverly are labeling the squatters as anti-social before they've even met them. The trouble is, Tommy hasn't actually met them either. After a visit to the squat he realises that sometimes small-minded prejudiced suburbanites can be right.
Tommy works at a nearby private boys' school, an institution he considers to be conformist and straight-laced. He gets invited to talk to the children about the pest control business. The kids appear more interested in his roadie work for the Floyd...and turn out to be more free-spirited than Tommy bargained for.
A courtroom drama unfolds as Tommy defends himself from the charge of fare evasion. Will the judge be swayed by Tommy's passionate defence?
When Magz is embarrassed by Tommy in front of her new friends she wonders if they should continue seeing one another.
