Bill Bailey returns as Guy Starling, a man whose life is unexpectedly turned upside down by someone he hasn鈥檛 seen for 45 years = his imaginary childhood friend, Hennikay.
Bill Bailey stars as Guy Starling, a middle aged man who, after 45 years, and for reasons quite unknown to him, is suddenly revisited by his imaginary childhood friend, Hennikay.
Tony鈥檚 big brother is getting married. Again. And Tony, as the best man, has arranged a big, drunken, debauched stag do in Ibiza and invited Guy along. And even though Guy has never met Tony鈥檚 big brother, Tony is Guy鈥檚 boss and so Guy has to accept.
And where Guy goes, Hennikay, his 11 year old imaginary friend from 1976, goes too. And even though Hennikay doesn鈥檛 know anything about drinking, debauchery or Ibiza, he is wildly excited at the thought of going anywhere on an aeroplane. Because to a 1970s schoolboy, nothing can be more exotic than joining the Jet Set of intercontinental sophistication, full of smartly uniformed pilots and cool sexy air hostesses.
Guy tries to warn him about the modern horrors of budget air travel but Hennikay is not put off. Flying in an aeroplane for the first time is the most exciting thing in the whole world to him.
Except, the stag do never takes off. An increasing series of disasters leave the party stranded in the airport and it looks like Hennikay is never going to fulfil his childish dream of joining the Jet Set.
Bill Bailey stars in the second series of this this warm, funny look at childhood, adulthood and the follies of modern life.
