Common As Muck


  Series 1 : 6 episodes - 50 minutes each.

The trials and tribulations of a group of binmen brought together by their common love of their job.

It is similar in nature to two other seminal UK TV dramas - Boys From The Black Stuff and Auf Wiedersehen, Pet. If you enjoyed those, you will feel right at home with this gang of at first unruly boozing and apparently lazy binmen, but as each episode unfolds each characters' story develops and all events intertwine until they become triumphant ovwer their corrupt bosses.
