Baby Cow Productions and commenced broadcast on BBC Two from 19 June 2006, the programme features Coogan as Tommy Saxondale, an ex-roadie with anger issues who now owns a pest control business. Other principal characters include Saxondale's Welsh anarchist girlfriend, Magz (Ruth Jones) and his naïve assistant, Raymond (Rasmus Hardiker). British actors Morwenna Banks, Mark Williams, Ben Miller (who script edited the series and also directed the first episode) and Liza Tarbuck also feature. Comedian Matt Berry composed the incidental music for the series and appeared in Tommy's therapy class in the first episode of the second series.

According to a BBC press release, over the course of the series Saxondale "gets his eyesight improved by a prostitute, almost befriends a celebrity, kneecaps an annoying hippie... and experiments with women's makeup." Coogan describes his character as "genuinely witty, while still being a bit of a dick."

BBC America began running Saxondale in November 2006. A second series is currently airing on BBC Two at 21:30 on Thursdays.
