Wild West is a British television dark comedy sitcom created by Simon Nye, which aired from 22 October 2002 to 13 April 2004. 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.
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.
