Trivia & behind the scenes

/
Origins

The series was originally conceived as a short film before being developed into a full series.

Casting

Julia Davis wanted to work with Catherine Shepherd because, in Davis's words, 'she's so understated and precise. And she corpses a lot.'

Filming

Davis, Shepherd, and Julian Barratt improvised material together during early development of the show.

Filming

For the series, Davis and Shepherd improvised material which Davis then wrote up and honed into a script; both scripted and off-script (improvised) footage were combined in the final edit.

Casting

Julia Davis described her character Emma as 'yet another dark, twisted, ambitious, predatory, amoral woman and very much a reflection of me in real life.'

Origins

Sky Atlantic and HBO ordered a seven-episode series in May 2018.

Reception

The show won the BAFTA for Best Scripted Comedy in 2019.

Reception

The series received a 97% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 32 reviews, with critics praising Julia Davis's performance as walking the line between 'side-splitting and cringe-worthy comedy.'
