Perfect World is a British sitcom that was first shown on BBC Two in the UK from 25 February 2000 to 25 June 2001. The series starred Paul Kaye as Bob Slay, an obnoxious, lazy and amoral phony marketing executive for a leading toiletries company. Yet Bob has a swish office and an attractive girlfriend, and is well regarded by his manager.
The television series was written by Mark Grant (who would later go on to write Star) and Mark Chapman who was a co-writer for the second series and provided additional material for the first series. Mark Chapman also directed the first series and produced both series with Nick Wood directing the second. The show's other producer was Lucy Robinson (who produced the first Dennis Pennis instalment and played the mayoress in The Thin Blue Line) and it had executive producers Danielle Lux (All About Me) and Charles Brand (The Comic Strip Presents...). Perfect World was also broadcast in Australia on the Nine Network.
