Speaking to the BBC, Brydon said he had simply missed the genre after years of presenting and documentary work. "I haven't done a sitcom since Gavin & Stacey," he said. "I'd been hosting shows like Destination X, Would I Lie to You?, The Floor, I did my travel country music documentary and I missed it and I wanted to do it."
The project came together through Steve Coogan's company Baby Cow, which has developed scripts for Brydon over several years. "This must have been 4 or 5 years ago, maybe more," he said. "It went through several iterations until we ended up where we are now."
"Right at the beginning of episode one he comes home to discover that his wife is having an affair with their gardener," Brydon said. "He sees that there's been a fire at the local university halls of residence and there's a housing crisis. So, he has the bright idea of renting rooms to students."
