Description
From the team that created the award winnings series ‘The Librarians’, Very Small Business follows Don Angel, (Wayne Hope), a small businessman with numerous unsuccessful business ventures. Don attempts to save his one-man publishing empire from hurtling towards liquidation by hiring Ray Leonard (Kim Gyngell) as his journalist. Taking his first tentative steps back into the workplace after a six-year battle with depression, Ray enters a world totally alien to him. He’s come from being a noted feature writer for ‘The Australian’ to writing advertorial for Wilson’s Woodwind & Brass Autumn Sale, which might just be his cure. It’s a marriage made in heaven - at least until the Tax Office gets there. This series explores the unlikely relationship between these two characters, a pairing of dodginess and integrity, set against the backdrop of good old Australian enterprise. “belly laughs” SMH

Underrated
Hope is at his harried, Machiavellian best as dodgy small-business owner Don Angel, flogging suspect products and services and being inattentive to his kids. He takes on hangdog Gyngell, broken from his former journalist life, who, despite his funk, is competent beyond Don’s comprehension and worthiness.
This is a true Aussie classic and so low under the radar that it’s mowing lawns. A must for Australian TV lovers.
