It was written by Simon Nye, who also wrote other ITV sitcoms such as ''Men Behaving Badly'' and '' Hardware''. It is based in the ramshakle and chaotic solicitors office of Lotus, Spackman and Phelps; it chronicles the trials, misadventures and miscarriages of justice, as the staff strive through one problem after another. When questioned about the accuracy of the series, Nye responded "don't expect an accurate portrayal of legal work. It's basically about working in an office in a less than exciting part of the world." The premise behind the series was to portray the monotomous atmosphere of office life and the constant workplace tension between the colleagues. Nye later noted "a solicitors' office seemed to be an ideal settin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
