James Corden and Mathew Baynton star and also co-wrote what can be best be described as a comedy action series.
They play in The Wrong Mans, Phil Bourne and Sam Pinkett. Office workers for Berkshire County Council although Corden is not a council employee he just works in the mail room.
Their lives are turned upside down when Sam (Baynton) answers a mobile phone left lying around after a car accident.
It might be case of mistaken identity but soon they are mixed up in a kidnapping, there are people out to kill them, corruption, nefarious spies. While all the time our hapless duo try to escape from increasingly bizarre situations against the odds.
It would be wrong to call this series a sitcom as this is far away from a sofa in a living room you can get.
Explosions, people being chased through country roads, dropping from the higher floors of car parks this is a topsy turvy show.
Baynton is perfect in the lead role an innocent goaded at work by office politics who just wants to do the right thing and has bitten off a bit too much.
Corden who is a fine dramatic thespian in my opinion can be overbearing when it comes to comedy, but tones his performance down enough as the more adrenaline fuelled one who is prone to taking risks.
The first series was successful enough and seemed to have tied up its plot lines nicely but a second series has been commissioned by the BBC.
