The Estate Agents was a comedy series, aired on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom in 2002. The series followed the lives of three incompetent and untrustworthy estate agents working at the fictional Embassy Properties in south London, and the often corrupt dealings of their entrepreneurial boss, Tony. The series was produced off the back of a one-off sketch from the Channel 4 sketch show, Comedy Lab. The programme was never made available on DVD, but is currently available to view as part of the 4od service. Only the one series was ever made. ==Characters== * Mark England (Cliff Kelly) is smartly dressed, and tries to conduct business in a friendly, professional manner. It is assumed that Mark is gay, as in one episode he sleeps with a male customer, who turns out to have a wife and children. Mark often assumes the position of team manager, and is often referred to by Jerry as a 'lanky goon'. * Mark Devlin (Adam G. Goodwin) is portrayed as down-on-his-luck, and is subjected to physical violence as a recurring theme throughout the series. He lives wherever he can, sometimes even at Embassy Properties on the shop floor. His wife, Jenny, often cheats on him, and throws him out, only to find at the end of the series that Jerry was having an affair with her all along. Mark drives a white Austin Allegro (affectionately called Steve), which only functions in reverse gear. * Jerry Zachary (Dan Clark) is the suave, party animal of the three, whose favourite things in life appear to be sex, alcohol, and ecstasy. Jerry is often deceptive and slimy towards his customers, especially one tenant, Adrian Tent, who he palms off whenever he comes to him with a problem. * Tony (Mark Arden) is the wheeling-dealing boss, who insults his staff and often assaults Devlin. He has many high-profile contacts, and fingers in many pies. Tony often like to video himself having sex with various women, whilst in disguise. * Roy Dance (Barry J. Gordon) was a veteran to the industry, the only real professional of the four. Roy often appears as a figment of England's imagination, a recurring theme being "As Roy Dance used to say...". In the second episode, Roy dies when he unexpectedly explodes all over his living room, and his wife. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Estate Agents」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
