It first appeared on Channel 4 as a one-off pilot in the series Bunch of Five in 1992, and was followed by one series of six episodes in 1994. It was described by Skinner as a love-letter to the Black Country.[1]

In his radio show, Frank Skinner claimed the second series was fully completed, but was never broadcast on TV.
