Bob's Birthday

Dentist Bob spends his 40th birthday undergoing a mid-life crisis. While he mopes at home expecting a quiet meal with his wife, he is unaware that all his friends are hiding in his house waiting for a surprise birthday party.

Unfortunately, in Bob’s un-self-conscious musings on his life to date, they hear a few home truths about themselves.

Bob’s Birthday was created by husband and wife team David Fine and Alison Snowden. After Bob’s Birthday scooped an Oscar , the short was developed into a critically acclaimed series called Bob and Margaret, which ran on Channel 4.
