Fire Station

White Watch are fire fighters in a small town but oppressive health and safety regulations mean there are not many fires to fight. They remain men, and a woman, with a mission: to cope with their various personality disorders, look heroic in uniform, and get very good at darts. Written by Simon Nye. Produced by TalkbackThames.

The pilot was filmed in mid-July 2006 at real fire stations in Canvey and Leigh (Essex) and in a studio at Television Centre. The cast included Johnny Vegas, Paterson Joseph (Green Wing), John Henshaw (Early Doors), Cristian Solimeno (Footballers Wives) and Tameka Empson (3 Non Blondes).
