Contents

Regular cast and characters

Blake Harrison as Scott

Scott is a receptionist at a veterinary clinic who dropped out of medical school when he couldn't afford to pay for it. The moral centre of the show, Scott constantly struggles with the implications of the business of death that is opening up life opportunities for him and his friends.

Ben Heathcote as Joey

Scott's womanizing, gambling-addicted, wise-cracking half brother.

Marc Wootton as Cozzo

Scott's waggish pal who works as a fast-food machine repair technician.

Laura Aikman as Julia

The daughter of Paddy, the boys' first client, she ends up becoming Scott's girlfriend.

Sinead Matthews as Debbie

Cozzo's extraordinarily tolerant, newly pregnant wife, who also happens to be a police officer.

Hannah Job as Lucie

Scott's sexy, but somewhat vapid ex-girlfriend who has high expectations and "great arms".

Melanie Jessop as Dr. Jill

Scott's Machiavellian, sexually-harassing boss, she is the veterinarian at the pet clinic.

Music

The show's theme tune, "Superstar Luck Machine" was composed by Ian Masterson.

Controversy

A week and a half before the show began airing, Conservative Tory MP Mark Pritchard publicly criticised the BBC for commissioning the programme and turning the subject of assisted dying into "a matter of fun".
