Series 1

Note: A short test pilot version of the first episode entitled A Bad Dream Gets Real was created before full production commenced. Its content was roughly that of the first two episodes of The Origin Story. This remains unaired, as it was an internal proof of concept only. The main cast was made up of the same actors, except that Stephen Pollard played Kevin.
