Wild West is a British television dark comedy sitcom created by Simon Nye, which aired from 22 October 2002 to 13 April 2004.^[1] The series was set in the Cornish hamlet of St Gweep (filmed on location in Portloe), observing the strange goings-on in the local community. It stars an ensemble cast, led by Dawn French and Catherine Tate as shop owners Mary Trewednack and Angela Phillips.^[2]

The first series of the sitcom aired on prime-time BBC1, where its eccentricities met with a poor critical and popular response, but a second series was commissioned, and both series have received retrospective praise.^{[citation needed]}
