Peacock and Bull

Insurance just got interesting. A claim on an alien abduction insurance policy proves to be just the first in a series of bizarre yet dangerous case files for sceptical insurance investigator Steve Bull. This uptight, bureaucratic ex-copper is also adjusting to life with a new partner, paranoid conspiracy theorist Richard Peacock. Peacock & Bull is the only comedy series smeared in ectoplasm in order to satisfy a combined policyholder dividend ratio. The truth is out there, but who’s going to pay for the damage?

Only on episode?

This is obviously the pilot for a series that sadly didn't get made. It introduces several subplots that are not developed because of the time limit in this single episode which leaves several questions. It has several interesting ideas and the late great Barry Cryer. You should buy this and listen to it at least once.
