Making this post because for some reason this show has flown completely under the radar for many. I had no idea it existed until it was mentioned on a comedian podcast I listen to (Bud Pod).

Of course, the BBC have kindly deleted it from their catalogue. Not sure of the rules here re pirated content so won’t post any links, but I found it on both Internet Archive and torrent (torrent is much better quality). It also features a young Benedict Wong, his character is so different from how we know him today!

Well worth a watch, especially if you’re a fan of Sean Lock.

    I loved 15 Storeys High. Was kind of lost on what was the old BBC Choice. Second series was co-written with Mark Lamar and a further series was squashed in favour of Little Britain instead. Lamar said Sean was upset that so few people saw it (would’ve been ideal BBC2 fodder prior to the launch of digital only BBC channels) and stuck to panel shows thereafter.

      Yeah I can see why he’d be upset about that, it’s so funny and I can see a lot of similarities with things that came after. Got a strong Peep Show vibe from it, shame more people didn’t get to see it when it first came out.
