I am watching the fly on the wall set in heathrow and all its making me think is how on point Ricky Gervais was when he made the UK office...
The "characters" they follow are real life wernham hogg employees...
and its similar in all these fly on the walls...

That Peter Kay thing

to be fair it was really 1998

Set in and around Bolton, each episode functions as a self-contained documentary following a different set of characters, many of them played by Kay. The pilot episode, "The Services", was shown in 1998 as an episode of Comedy Lab, a series which showcases pilots of experimental comedy shows. Many of the characters went on to appear in the successful spin-off series Phoenix Nights.
