Since June 1997, the 30-year old lawyer has been walking door-to-door chatting with Cantabrigians, sometimes six or seven days per week, as he says, out-working the competition...
Beyond this high-grade sitcom, one of the appealing possibilities of The Alarmist is the voyeurism offered by the "door-to-door salesman" frame. Sadly, the possibility of venturing into the mansions of West Los Angeles and meeting the natives remains largely unexploited.
