Paul Green, journalist at the UK's fourth most successful Jewish paper, hunts absurd stories to satisfy his narrow-minded editor.
Hapless follows the life of 40-something Paul Green, an investigative journalist at the 4th biggest Jewish publication in the UK, who takes his job - as well as his neurosis and pet peeves - very seriously.
Paul seeks to address some of the major dilemmas of our times such as: can a key-cutter be trusted with your home address; can a shower gel legally claim to contain 7,927 mint leaves; is Philip Green actually BAME; and why has there never been a Jewish 007?
However, his journalistic ambitions are partly thwarted by interference from dominating sister, Naomi, who regularly calls him in for baby-sitting duties; their dismissive father, Ronnie; and neurotic best friend, Simon.
