Broadcast

Although twelve episodes were originally scheduled, the series was cut short following the sudden death of Barry Elliott on 5 August 2018 aged 73, meaning only six were broadcast. The final episode was shown in tribute to the comedian. It is unknown whether further episodes were recorded, as it was later stated that Barry had been forced to pull out of filming part-way through due to illness.^[9]
