About the episode[]

The episode is from the British satirical cartoon series, notorious for its dark humour and handling of taboo topics such as murder, suicide and paedophilia. There were three series broadcast on BBC Three between 2003 and 2005. Following co-creator Harry Thompson's death, no further series were made. The principal writers and creators of the series were Harry Thompson and Shaun Pye, although other contributors were responsible for a significant proportion of the work.

The episodes are untitled and the animation is accompanied by contemporary music which helps the transition between scenes.
