Mog(1985)

Mog is a British comedy series that aired on ITV in 1985 and 1986, following a cunning cat burglar posing as a psychiatric patient. Enn Reitel stars as the title character, a criminal who feigns insanity to hide in plain sight within a hospital. Based on Peter Tinniswood's 1970 novel, the show mines comedy from the collision between Mog's criminal schemes and the eccentric world of institutional life. Produced by Central for ITV, Mog offers a darkly comic premise that blends heist elements with the absurdity of hospital routines. The series captures the irreverent spirit of mid-1980s British television, where unconventional characters and sharp wit defined the era's best comedies.
