Channel 4 commissioned an additional 25-minute Christmas special before the first series aired,[3] and a second series was announced during Davies's live tour "The Back of My Mum's Head." Following Rik Mayall's death in June 2014, Davies met with Channel 4 to discuss the future of the show. It had been intended that Mayall's role in the second series would be more prominent than it had been previously.[4] The series returned for a second Christmas special in 2014, a second series in 2015,[5] a third in 2016,[6] and a fourth in 2017.[7]
The majority of scenes are filmed in and around Watford and South Oxhey, Hertfordshire.[citation needed]
