Documentary series about the problems faced by people with disabilities.

Actress Mandy Colleran and stand-up comedian Gary Skyner are both disabled but have vastly different attitudes to humour. Gary jokes about his disability, thinking people will laugh with him and not at him. Mandy prefers to laugh at the way the world treats disabled people and enlists the help of comedian Arthur Smith to persuade Gary to reconsider his act.
