Simon Watkins (Adrian Scarborough) is happy. It's surprising, given he's in his forties, divorced and living with his tuba-playing, interfering dad. But Simon has landed the perfect job - working as a security guard in an anonymous office block.

It's a crime-free, disorder-free paid jolly, and Simon is not going to let anything spoil his newly found idyll. Not even evil boss Roger, scary receptionist Suzy, scatty colleague Polly or unfeasibly beautiful sandwich girl Melanie. Only a meticulously planned, daring heist could disrupt Simon's world, and what are the chances of that happening on the night shift?

Executive Producers: Gareth Edwards and Saurabh Kakkar for BBC In-House Comedy. Writers: Keiron Self and Giles New. Producer: Joanna Blake. Director: David Sant.

This pilot is part of the BBC Salford Sitcom Showcase 2013.
