The series, that was first broadcast on 18 March 2009, is recorded in various small towns in Britain instead of the country`s major cities. Each episode is tailored to the town it is recorded in and the show is performed in front of a local audience. The first series of six episodes was recorded in five towns in England (Skipton, Boston, Lewes, Walsall and the Isle of Portland) and one in Wales (Merthyr Tydfil). The second series, also of six episodes and first broadcast on 7 April 2010, was performed in four towns in England (Dartford, Wilmslow, Penzance and Gateshead) and two in Scotland (Dumfries and Kirkwall). A third series has been commissioned and will visit Holyhead in Wales, Berwick-upon-Tweed on the Anglo-Scottish border, Douglas on the Isle of Man, and Basingstoke, Wigan and Bungay in England.
