A witty, intelligent and vulgar ensemble comedy about inefficient politicians, their lackeys, suck-ups, enemies and those who do the dirty work. If "The West Wing" were British, pessimistic and true. Shot in a mockumentary type style reminding one of "Curb Your Enthusiam", "The Office" and "The Larry Sanders Show".
Alas Smith and Jones is a British comedy sketch television series featuring Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones that ran on BBC One and BBC Two from 31 January 1984 to 14 October 1998. From series 5 in 1989 the 'Alas' title was dropped and became simply Smith and Jones.
