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).
