Not Safe For Work preview

I'm pretty confident that if Not Safe For Work was labelled a drama it will perform better than as a comedy drama. The main reason being that people will tune in expecting laughs, and if I'm honest, they won't get them.

Elliot Gonzalez, I Talk Telly, 18th June 2015

After playing one of TV's most vivid characters - the cool/cruel student Vod in Fresh Meat - Zawe Ashton had earned the chance of a leading role in this highly anticipated six-parter by promising dramatist DC Moore. The recession-sensitive plot has Ashton as one of a group of civil servants unwillingly relocated from London to Northampton as part of government cuts who are finding that money and love are no easier in the provinces.
