I’d touted the script around for years. Nobody wanted it. They all said it would never get made: it was too disgusting, it was too boring, it wasn’t funny. Then I showed it to Kenton Allen at Big Talk. He sent it to the BBC and they commissioned a pilot. It was originally called Young, Unemployed and Lazy, and it was just Becky and Steve and they didn’t leave the bedroom. But the BBC said it needed more characters, then told me to change the title. It was nearly called Squeezed. Actually, it was almost called all manner of dreadful things.
