Production

The series originated as the result of a semi-regular sketch featured in The Keith Lemon Sketch Show, known as Keith & Paddy's Film Bit, and non-broadcast pilot entitled The Keith and Paddy Show, which was recorded in 2016 and featured a number of celebrity guests and film parody sketches. The series was first announced on 24 November 2016, when ITV announced the commission of a five-episode series, featuring parodies of the films Dirty Dancing, Ghostbusters, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Jaws and Rocky.[2] The first series began transmission on 6 May 2017 at 9:15pm.

The first series drew a strong viewing audience for the timeslot. As a result, a second series, extended to six episodes, was confirmed on 11 January 2018. Parodies in this series include Grease, Top Gun, Pretty Woman, Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Jurassic Park.[3] Series two, began broadcasting on 14 April 2018.
