Good news for UK residents: Comfort & Joy will be airing on BBC2 Feb 2 at 1am. Information here.
BBC2’s Synopsis:
Quirky comedy in which a Scottish DJ with personal problems is landed with a whole lot more when he becomes involved in a feud between two rival families of ice cream sellers.
See? Perfect!
Patrick Malahide plays Colin, the DJ’s (Bill Paterson) best friend. He is a doctor, a father, and an all around perfect sort.

Right now, C&J is no longer in print as a home video release. We are hoping that it will eventually get a re-release on a nice cleaned up DVD. The upcoming broadcast is a step in the right direction for getting more recognition for this “hidden gem”.
