Trivia
The show's working title was "Crazy", and the original concept was to have Chris Langham's therapist talking to various celebrity clients. Langham disliked the idea, and suggested that Paul Whitehouse play all the client roles - even though the two had never worked together, or even met.

TV this well written, acted and simply made doesn't come along too often. Picked up the BBC DVD from http://www.ezydvd.com.au/item.zml/795464 EzDVD (Australia). Seems that the release was sanctioned there but not in the UK. The Phrases 'new comedy' and 'mind-bendingly funny' don't usually go together, but here's one of those all-too infrequent exceptions. Chris Langham's therapist indulges various clients, all played by a near-unrecognisable Paul Whitehouse hidden behind an array of voices and prosthetics.Aviva insurance (or rather their ad agency) have had the good sense to allow Paul Whitehouse to create more instant classic characters in their recent TV ads - 'Green Ormy', 'Baagin' and 'A-line Bob' (you'll know what I mean if you see them). These creations are probably capable of supporting a TV series on their own.
