SeriesComedy
The Spa is a sitcom created, written and starring Derren Litten. It is set in a health spa in Hertfordshire and follows the daily goings-on of the business. Alison Crabbe has a vision to turn the Hertfordshire health club she manages into the ultimate recuperative retreat. And she's pretty certain she could achieve it, were it not for its doddery customers and incompetent staff. But the truth is, the bolshy boss herself - overconfident and tactless - is the impediment to the Spa's ultimate success. She makes little effort to hide her displeasure with her team, which includes a chef who can't cook, a fitness instructor who can't be bothered to exercise, a suicidal cleaner, a dippy receptionist and a forgetful, socially awkward handyman.

Gone to Seed is a British comedy-drama series created by Tony Grounds, a standalone spin-off to his earlier Gone to the Dogs. With much of the cast returning—albeit in new roles—the six-episode series follows the Plant family, who have run a garden centre in Rotherhithe since Dickens’ time, surviving both war and redevelopment. But now, family rivalry threatens to poison their unlikely paradise when matriarch Mag refuses to hand over control to her triplet children. Frumpy Hilda has only one passion in life: Milwall FC. Country/western singer Monty dreams of turning the run-down nursery into a floral oasis in the heart of Docklands, whilst his one-eyed jobless builder and part-time wrestler Winston doesn’t know a begonia from a buttercup! Meanwhile, local conman Wesley Willis lurks in the shadows and knows the true-worth of prime-location London real-estate.
