Slinger's Day (1986)
Slinger's Day is a British sitcom created by Brian Cooke and produced by Thames Television for ITV.

Several cast members from Tripper's Day reprised their roles in the first series but departed in the second, allowing for new characters. Broadcast for two six-episode runs from 1986–87, Slinger's Day represented Forsyth's sole situation comedy acting role, and he remained more associated with stand-up and game shows.
