Comedy A-Z Pages:
Denis Ailing (Ian Lavender) is a 42-year-old salesman working for Cookham's Cures.
Unfortunately for Denis, he seems to have a "psychological block" against selling and taking orders.
His chief rival in the battle to get orders is Glen Harris (Dominic Guard), who is much more suited to salesmanship and who tends to be much more successful, both with clients and with women.
This sitcom failed to achieve the success of David Nobbs' earlier work, The Fall And Rise Of Reginald Perrin. Only one series was made.
