Lab Rats
Lab Rats is a 2008 BBC 2 situation comedy set in a university science laboratory starring Chris Addison, who co-wrote the series with Carl Cooper. The series was produced by regular collaborator Simon Nicholls and directed by Adam Tandy. Its executive producer was Armando Iannucci with whom Addison worked in The Thick of It.
Iannucci stated that the programme would be a traditional-style sitcom recorded in front of a live audience. He hinted that it will be a “very cartoony” show featuring “lots of giant snails”.
A pilot was announced as part of a series called “Behind Closed Doors” in Autumn 2006, but was never aired. A series of six episodes was broadcast in 2008, although the show was not recommissioned for further series.
