Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDesmond's long-held dream throughout the show was to retire to his homeland of Guyana, which is how the series ended - ironically, because actor Norman Beaton had decided to do the same. On 13 December 1994 - six days before the final episode of the show aired - Beaton flew to Guyana, collapsed with a heart attack at Georgetown Airport and died just hours later, aged 60.
- Crazy creditsThe series 1 - 4 theme tune was the original recording of the theme tune "Dont Scratch My Soca" and a video montage of life in and around Peckham, people arriving on ships and an exterior shot of Shirley and Desmond outside the barbershop was used.

Featured review
We used to watch this show on BET and laughed ourselves silly every time. Apparently this show ended with the lead actor's death. However, I wish it would come to DVD or VHS. I would be standing in line to buy the first copies.
