Synopsis:

Welcome to "Desmond's", Britain's funniest barbershop, where you can relax, play dominoes and sometimes even get a haircut! Set in South London, this hilarious sitcom follows the everyday lives of its patrons, who come more for the conversation than for the haircuts. The Desmond's - Series 1 DVD contains the entire first season of the hit show, which revolutionised British television by introducing a black cast to the predominantly white sitcom formula, much like "The Cosby Show" introduced African Americans to the American sitcom. In this series you'll be introduced to demon barber Desmond Ambrose (Norman Beaton); his long suffering wife Shirley (Carmen Munroe); teenagers Gloria and Sean; yuppie banker son Michael; regular visitors Porkpie and Matthew; and all the customers, relatives and friends who keep the Peckham salon bursting with laughter.
