Production
The show follows an eighteen year old boy Willow (James Tarpey) and how he learns to cope after being dumped by his girlfriend Jasmine (played by BAFTA winner Georgina Campbell). He meets Lauren (Winstone), who invites him to join her and her friend Ollie (Rob Kendrick) on a late night radio show they broadcast from her boat. They play songs lots of people have never heard before, as well as artists like The Smiths, Tom Waits and The Pixies. Their radio show provides the soundtrack to the sitcom. At first Willow's mum and dad (Susan Cookson and O'Hanlon) do not approve, but they are won over by the infectious personalities of the two radio presenters.
It is the first ever television appearances of James Tarpey, Fergus van Gelder and Laura Woodward and reunites John Thomson with Craig Cash, who worked together in the nineties. The show also features a brief cameo from Caroline Aherne as well as Hollie-Jay Bowes and Jaz Martin.
