Does anyone on here happen to know what this show is about exactly? Is it comedy, sci-fi, horror or a combination of these genres? What sort of characters will Steve and Reece be portraying? Will it be similar in any way(s) to either 'The League of Gentlemen' or 'Psychoville'?
From what I've read, it's going to be a different story every week all set inside the same room, hence the title. The inspiration came from the one episode from Psychoville that takes place in the same room.
I think they plan on different characters being involved each week but there is supposed to be something more than just the room that will link the stories together as well if I remember what I was reading right.

I went to a preview of two of the episodes at the BFI last night. One of the episodes, called 'A Quiet Night In' was about two robbers breaking into a house, which was incredibly funny. The other was called 'The Harrowing' and starred a work experience girl, going to a creepy house with satanic paintings on the wall and... Well I don't want to give it away. Surprisingly scary. I don't know much about the other episodes except one was set in (no 9 of) a dressing room of a producion of Macbeth, one is set in a shop, one involves a pop star visiting a house and the other involves Tim Key playing a game of Sardines in a wardrobe. Very darkly comic and rivals the genius of psychoville. Cannot wait for the series in February next year.
I think I can give that away, I didn't sign an embargo.
Thanks a ton for the info on a couple of the show's episodes! I ALWAYS look forward to what these guys will do next! I see you mentioned that the show will air in February of next year as well. A bit of a bummer for me as I live in the U.S. and I don't believe the show airs in this country. So I guess I will just have to hold on till the DVD release of the series, which hopefully won't be too long of a wait for us fans here in America. At least I certainly hope this series WILL get a DVD release!
