As a sitcom addict, I had to try out 'the Job Lot'. The 'action' takes place somewhere in the West Midlands (I believe Birmingham is hinted at..?). There is the nervous and eager to please manager: Trish and her arch-nemesis, 'working to rule' Angela. Russell Tovey is the mis-employed arts graduate who is the object of Trish's latent affection. The concoction of characters make for a strangely dysfunctional, but familiar (;-) ) workplace environment.
The writing is decent and the script is well executed by the entire cast. For anyone reading this whose never done a 9-5 job, I believe it transmits some of the dismal nature of said (although by no means all - some you may enjoy!?) occupations. The humour is in the horror of spending your dwindling 'three score and ten' doing something you don't like a great deal, but needing to for the money! Still enjoyable series whilst it lasted!
