For the second series scripts where given to actors on Sunday evenings, the episodes were filmed on Mondays and Tuesdays with editing on the second day. It is then finalised on Wednesday and aired that night. It is set in a fictional PR firm O'Connor and Associates. In addition to the regular series there was a one-off Election Special in July 2002.
