- TriviaAdam Buxton & Iain Lee, and in a later episode Adam Buxton & Daisy Haggard, discuss their difficult experiences with this project on the Adam Buxton Podcast. They spoke about how the script never really clicked, and how they would be filming an episode whilst still trying to come up with a finale to close it. Adam says his (showbiz) phone never rang for 6 months following.
Featured review
You can't actually view this anywhere anymore which sort of tells you a great deal. This was one of those sum of its parts was far better than the completed version. Iain Lee himself says his straight guy turn was poor, and it was. The other actors were great but given minimal substance. Some of the scenes throughout were cringeworthy. However you did get to see some future stars, especially Gemma Whelan ( GoT, The Tower, Upstart Crow) making a brief appearance or two. You could see the idea was hood but the writer needed more help before it got to TV. Every episode ( apart from the first) felt like storyboard; 2am; it's not final type scripts were green lit by execs without reading it. Some great micro scenes were there especially in the actually rehearsed first episode. For ad agency comedy look to Absolute Power which was brilliant, started its life via radio. The Persuasionists should have taken the same route, or advice.
