It launched itself with a Pilot episode for Comedy Special on the BBC which had the same name as the programme. Following the success of the Pilot, four series and a Christmas Special was produced by the BBC from 1977 to 1980. The show features a character called 'Wolfie' Smith and the Tooting Popular Front (TPF) who want to give 'Power to the People' and 'Freedom for Tooting'. However the TPF is actually a group of his friends; 'Wolfie' is really an unemployed dreamer and petty criminal, whose plans fall through due to lack of organisation.
