Made by Big Talk Studios, in partnership with That Mitchell and Webb Company, the series is also a co-production with Germany's ZDF. The programme's first series proved an enormous ratings triumph, becoming the BBC's most successful comedy debut since at least 2018, reports the Express. Its initial run drew 9.5 million viewers within its first 28 days, while the opening episode has steadily grown its audience, achieving an impressive 11.8 million viewers in total.
