Desmond likes things done properly.
His vegetable garden should flourish. Technology should work. Neighbours should mind their own business. And if something is obviously ridiculous, people should simply admit it.
Instead, every minor inconvenience becomes a major incident.
From battling determined wildlife and wrestling with increasingly unhelpful technology to accidentally becoming an internet sensation, Desmond somehow finds himself at the centre of chaos despite only trying to make things better.
Fortunately, his wife Pam has spent years perfecting the art of quietly managing the fallout.
Warm, witty and wonderfully British, Desmond and the Swan is a character-driven comedy about gardens, growing older, friendship, modern life, and the extraordinary trouble one ordinary man can cause without ever meaning to.
