(4/6)

Comedian Dom Joly presents this six-part series
in which he and a crack team of ‘complainers’ set
about tackling the myriad irritations of life.
“Modern life can be really irritating,” says Dom.
“Bad deals, bad laws, annoying people – they’re
everywhere.” To redress the balance, Dom and his
team of mischief makers wreak comedic revenge
on everyone and everything that irks them – from
persistent cold-callers to below-par cabbies,
infuriating parking fines to public transport. Dom
and the gang pledge to mock, undermine and
generally annoy those who would irritate us.
So far this series, Dom has lifted the lid on CCTV
by finding out about its uses and posing the question, who watches the watchers? He has investigated the hot topic of recycling and visited areas where specially trained ‘bin police’ inspect neighbourhood bins to make sure the right sort of trash is being thrown away. He has also taken up the cause of passenger rights, probing the country’s most-complained about railway company, First Great Western.
At the same time, Dom’s merry band of complainers have played all manner of tricks and stunts in the cause of fighting back against those typical daily annoyances. They have gained their revenge over wolf-whistling builders, clamped wheel clampers, tormented traffic wardens with the ‘Traffic Warden Warden’, cold-called the cold callers and even tried to return junk mail to sender.
Along the way, the show has unearthed some unbelievable truths about life’s everyday annoyances and explored the true extent of people’s rights as citizens. This is the stuff ‘they’ really do not want you to know – and which you could not make up. “It’s a war out there,” Dom says. “And we’re on your side.”
