Plot

Set in a busy job centre in the fictitious town of Brownall, in the West Midlands, the series features neurotic boss Trish (Hadland), romantic dreamer Karl (Tovey), assistant manager Natalie (Aikman), miserable jobsworth Angela (Enright), and security guards Paul (Marquez) and Janette (Curran). From series three they were joined by hopeless psychologist Ash (Mohammed). The staff navigate their way through social issues, personal problems and difficult clients, including the work-shy Bryony (McShera).
