A wildly surreal, music-driven comedy that prioritizes absurdist invention and genre pastiche over narrative coherence, built on affection for its characters and pop culture.

A British comic fantasy containing humour and pop-culture references. Episodes often featured elaborate musical numbers in different genres, such as electro, heavy metal, funk, and rap. The show has been known for popularising a style called "crimping"; short acappella songs which are present throughout all three series.
