Synopsis:

Should your kitchen need repainting or your bathroom require renovation, you certainly wouldn't want to hire the dubious firm of builders that goes by the name of Joe Jones Limited. Geyser, Wobbly Ron and Eric work for Joe because no-one else will employ them. And Joe has to employ Geyser, Wobbly Ron and Eric because no-one else will work for him... Starring Oscar-winning scriptwriter and actor Colin Welland as aptly named plumber Geyser, David Kelly (Robin's Nest, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory) as his terminally confused co-worker, and Roy Kinnear as the boss entirely unburdened by a conscience, this wickedly funny early '80s sitcom was written by Surgical Spirit creator Peter Learmouth and is available here on DVD for the first time. This release comprises the complete first series.

Geyser and Joe run into woman trouble on the firm's annual outing.

Cowboys was a British television sitcom that aired on the ITV network during the early 1980s. The show was created by Peter Learmouth whom would go on to create Granada television sitcom Surgical Spirit and starred Lancastrian Character-actor Roy Kinnear as Joe Jones "whose small building firm (Joe Jones Ltd.) hardly seems to do anything right at all" with co-stars David Kelly (Previously best known for playing one armed dishwasher Albert Riddle in Robin's Nest) as 'Wobbly' Ron, "Oscar-Winning Writer" Colin Welland as Geyser and James Wardroper with Debbie Linden and Janine Duvitski. However, the show did not have anything to do with the Wild West. Instead, it was based on the British colloquial use of "cowboy" to describe a workman of doubtful professionalism e.g. a "cowboy builder".
