Phoenix Nights

The Phoenix Club is re-opening tonight with the help of Roy “Its The Way I Tell Em” Walker and Brian and the crew have to make sure everything runs smoothly which isnt helped by a Nazi bandit, singing builders, short circuit a racist folk band and Max and Paddy. Opening Night is sure to be great.

Will fire and safety officer Keith Lard succeed in closing the Phoenix Club, or will Brian Potter keep it open in time for the sell-out psychic that is Clinton Baptiste?

The Phoenix club has hit rock bottom. Can a new alternative comedy night and Robot Wars save the day? Probably not...

The club has burnt down (rival Den Perry did it) and Brian has been barred from holding a licence due to safety shortcuts and insurance fiddles. But, inspired by old mate Hoss Cartwright who runs Blackpools La Ponderosa, Brian has plans for a revival. He needs the help of his former employees, especially Jerry St Clair, who has been reduced to the role of singing salesman at Asda.

To get publicity, Brian arranges for the Phoenix Club to be featured on TV show Crimetime (presented by Stuart Maconie), recreating the night of the blaze. It turns into a blatant plug for the club – and features Jerrys performance of Reach For The Stars. Meanwhile, the Chinese cooks are stir frying everything and the seedy Spencer (Daniel Kitson) is hired as a barman.

Its Ladies Night, Brians stocked up on Bacardi and Paddy cant wait for the bored housewives to arrive. Max has his eye on a different chassis but he knows shes out of his league.
