The Scottish town of Broughty Ferry doesn't know what's hit it. The sudden death of the sitting MP has resulted in a by-election that could change the political map of the UK. Bob Servant has been waiting his whole life for this level of attention and he's willing to do anything to keep it. Bob sells himself as a man of the people but doesn't really like people. He also has absolutely no understanding of the political process and uses the by-election campaign as a heaven sent opportunity for self-promotion. His campaign manager is Frank (Jonathan Watson), Bob's long-suffering... best friend and neighbour, and their love-hate relationship is a central aspect of Bob Servant Independent.

The Scottish town of Broughty Ferry doesn know what hit it. The sudden death of the sitting MP has resulted in a by-election that could change the political map of the UK. Bob Servant has been waiting his whole life for this level of attention and he willing to do anything to keep it. Bob sells himself as a man of the people but doesn really like people. He also has absolutely no understanding of the political process and uses the by-election campaign as a heaven sent opportunity for self-promotion. While the bewildered Broughty Ferry locals watch on, Bob and his long-suffering best pal and campaign manager Frank, attempt to pull off the greatest political shock of all.
The entire first series of the BBC comedy following the campaign trail of prospective Scottish MP and shameless self-publicist Bob Servant (Brian Cox). With the unexpected death of its sitting MP, the Dundonian suburb of Broughty Ferry finds itself in the grip of by-election fever. Determined to seize his chance, Bob, the former window cleaner and key player in Dundee's Cheeseburger Wars of the 1980s, embarks on a relentless round of publicity aided by campaign manager Frank (Jonathan Watson), with the sole aim of forcing his way into the hearts and minds of the locals - whether they like it or not.
