Name of 80's Sit Com ?

[Phil1971]

I am trying to remember the name of a british sit-com that appeared in the mid-late 80’s.
I can only recall a few things. There were three main characters. Two young blokes who were both into cycling, one of them was rather loud and annoying, the other was a bit quieter and was going out with a girl who was the other main character. I seem to remember them all having Irish accents……that’s it….a bit vague to say the least…but I know you all like a challenge….!!!
Any ideas ?

I know its the wrong decade and i know only one of the people has an irish accent but this couldnt be Game On by any chance could it ?

Game On (BBC television) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Worth a shout.

Doh!! This was my first thought but I ruled this one out due to the decade and the fact If I remember rightly one of the charactors could not leave the flat due to a fear of the outside world.

I did a bit more digging on the net and found out it was called 'Foreign Bodies'.

Sitcom. Stories of two young nurses living in Dublin but working in Belfast, especially ones relationship with a protestant car mechanic.

Well i knew it wasnt right with the time frame but Martin did have an Irish girlfriend and i do remember one episode where they wore bike riding gear (even tho they didnt get out of the flat) and you know time plays funny tricks on minds and all that /cough

I dont really remember Foreign Bodies to be honest so i would have been stabbing in the dark for a while on this one :-)
