Filming
Series 1 was filmed at BBC Scotland in Glasgow in early 2013 where it was produced by The Comedy Unit. Series 2 began shooting in early 2014.
Cast
Reception
Bruce Dessau, comedy critic for the Evening Standard described the show as "really rather good" saying "they have simply crammed in as many gags as it is humanly possibly to cram into a half hour sitcom."
James Kettle of The Guardian said of the show, "From what I can see it's a triumph, harnessing classic comedy chops to a modern sensibility."
Iona McLaren of the Daily Telegraph regarded the series as a "failed transition" from the group's live comedy, although a reviewer from The Metro felt that any unfunny material was saved by the "sheer relentless energy" of the cast.
The second series was better received by critics than the first.
