Comedian Dom Joly presents this new six-part
series in which he and a crack team of
‘complainers’ set about tackling the myriad
irritations of modern life. In the first episode, Dom

generally pledge to annoy those who irritate us.
Along the way, The Complainers also manages
to unearth some quite unbelievable truths about
life’s everyday annoyances. This is the stuff ‘they’
really do not want you to know – and which you
could not make up.
