Here's what Andrew Collins had to say about the sitcom:
"Having written two full-length 30 minute sitcoms for the BBC, Grass with Simon Day, and Not Going Out with Lee Mack, I accepted the job of writing a two-minute sitcom that will run throughout Comic Relief Day on 6 Music without a second thought. How hard could it be? That's 28 minutes less comedy to write per episode. Piece of cake. However, as we have discovered, the challenge is to make a two-minute sitcom funny and for it to make logical sense, and for its narrative arc to hold up over the course of a day. On music radio. Clearly, now I come to actually work on it, I wish I'd say no. Since agreeing to do it, my writing partner Jon Holmes refuses to take my calls or emails and was last seen boarding a ferry in Weymouth. We're doomed."
