Boyz Unlimited

Boyz Unlimited is a British comedy series, which aired on Channel 4 from 5 February to 12 March 1999. It was a six-part satire about the music industry. Written by Richard Osman and/or the double act of David Walliams and Matt Lucas and produced by Hat Trick Productions, the plot centered on a career criminal's attempts at forming a boy band. Ratings and critical reception were both poor, and the programme was not recommissioned; Walliams' and Lucas' experiences of working on the show would cause them to refuse to work with Hat Trick on subsequent projects for many years, and Osman's experiences would cause him to lose confidence in his writing ability.
