On 1 September 2023, The Rubbish World Of Dave Spud was the final programme to air on the CITV network, before the channel closed and the show’s run moved to ITVX.
A Scottish version of the series aired on BBC Alba starting 3 May 2022, but was removed after 9 November 2023, but was re-added to the channel on 12 December 2023
The Rubbish World of Dave Spud was created by Edward Foster, who had previously worked as series director of Little Princess, and was adapted from his National Film and Television School student film Anna Spud (2003). Foster stated that the theme of the show was to "give the biggest adventure to the one who least expects it, to the one who isn’t holding up their hand or even looking. Giving it to them."[4]
The series is set in the Lincolnshire town of Grimsby, and although several of its landmarks are featured, such as the Spuds' tower block (modelled after the former high-rise on East Marsh) and the dock, Foster has stated the Grimsby featured in the show is intended to be purely fictional.[5] A pilot was commissioned in 2010, and two years later was commissioned as a full series, but Foster decided to take a hiatus from the industry for a couple of years, which put production on hold until 2017.
