The show is notable for its "Retro-scripting" writing style. The cast are given a general outline of a plot instead of a script, and improvise their lines from there.

A British {{Mockumentary}} series airing on Creator/ChannelFive.

Northend Airport. An ''extremely'' small time airport in the middle of nowhere.

With maybe two flights a day if they're lucky, the hapless staff are free to mill about and chat about their day. Like ex-DJ Tariq, criminally un-hip boss Linda Proctor, bumbling Scotsman Grant and all around buffoon Clive.

The show is notable for its "Retro-scripting" writing style. The cast are given a general outline of a plot instead of a script, and improvise their lines from there.

Became available on Netflix in 2016.

* PointyHairedBoss: Linda is not great at her job. Usually too concerned with trying to be the employees friends to be efficient at it.
* ScaryBlackMan: Mo. His fellow baggage handler Sujan is so frightened of him, he still hasn't told him he's not Muslim like he assumes.
* StatusQuoIsGod: Clive leaves the airport after season 1 to become a cop. He loses said cop job 1 episode into season 2, and returns to the airport soon after.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Mo and Sujan the baggage handlers are rarely seen apart.
