A new comedy about a five-person nature documentary crew out in the field. As if capturing footage of the rare Eurasian wolf in the forests of Bergslagen, Sweden, isn't difficult enough, they also have to film a 'making-of' featurette and refrain from killing each other.

In the read-through, Frankie Boyle plays the part of Phil, the neurotic, ex-BBC boss of the production company who's on the verge of a divorce and would rather be safely indoors. Miles Jupp and Craig Campbell play the two incompatible cameramen, Powell and Malcolm, the former a cocksure self-publicist who's in a viral clip on YouTube, the latter a Canadian hippie who communes with the earth. Isy Suttie plays Mags, the production manager who holds everything together, and Adam Hess is the intern, Ben.

The sitcom has been created by Andrew Collins, with Simon Day. The production company is Avalon Television.
