173 - The Tuckers

The Tuckers (Series 1 Episode)<br /> <br />Set in the south Wales valleys, The Tuckers tells the story of a family of chancers, low on cash but high on spirit - determined to survive through any means necessary. They run a catering business, not always successfully, and a few things on the side, not always legit.<br /><br />Peggy rules the roost, with Glyn, her son, next in command. His children, Billy and Bobby, are never far from trouble, and Bobby's ex-wife, Natalie lives next door - with Shaks, their young daughter who has an appetite for mayhem.<br /><br />The family bicker endlessly amongst themselves, but if you cross one Tucker, you cross them all, and you'll think twice about crossing them again (especially Grampa Murphy, who spends most of his time in an outside toilet, armed with a gun).<br /><br />The series examines the love/hate relationship between members of the clan, ultimately proving that blood is thicker than water.<br /><br />Written by Steve Speirs and Owen Bell<br />Produced by Owen Bell, Steven Canny and James Dehaviland<br />Directed By Ian FitzGibbon and Geraint Havard<br />A BBC Studios Production.<br />The Tuckers is available here: <a href="https://bbc.in/3CJFQkk" rel="noopener">https://bbc.in/3CJFQkk</a><br /> <br />The Comedy Slab Podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spreaker, Stitcher, iHeart Radio, Spotify and Youtube.<br /> <br />Subscribe for a new episode each Monday.<br /> <br />Get in touch - we're @ComedySlab on Twitter and ComedySlab on Facebook.
