Set in the office of a theatrical agent, it began as a pilot in 1993 shown as part of ITV's short-lived Comedy Playhouse (not to be confused with the BBC's long-running Comedy Playhouse), then ran for two series, shown in 1994 and 1996. The regular cast were: Clive Francis, who played the main character Dominic Eden, Benedict Taylor as Atin, Colin Stinton as Tony, and Elizabeth Bennett as Joan. There were cameo appearances from Jonathan Ross and Nicholas Parsons.

The pilot was written by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor, though the first and second series were written by Naylor and various co-writers, including Steve Punt and Paul Alexander. The producer was Ed Bye, then Marcus Mortimer.
