Plot
Set in an underground car-park, this sitcom mainly focuses around the banter between the two car-park attendants, Sydney and Danny. Sydney spends much of his time talking about past times with his wife, Maureen (who is never seen), while Danny goes on about the opposite sex. Their boss, Miss Cummings, is a no-nonsense woman. Adolf, the traffic warden, also regularly pops in, and thinks of himself as a political activist.
