Acting
Six performers, infinite bizarre characters.

Scripts that feel like controlled implosions.

Zero budget, maximum creative desperation.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The cast met at Edinburgh University and developed characters through live improv before Channel 4 gave them a budget barely covering sandwiches.
