Stuart is made redundant from his post at the job centre.

Stuart is made redundant from his post at the Job Centre and queues to sign on. Stars Matthew Horne and Alex Lowe. From October 2013.

Made redundant by an Essex job centre, Stuart must return to his former workplace.  

He’s convinced he did a better job than his ex-colleagues who are still there. But he was content to work there, especially because of Senior Job Seeker Advisor, Nicola who he had a one night stand with during half time of the England- Portugal game in 2006.  He still holds out for a relationship to blossom even though seven years have gone by. 

Now stuck on the other side of the desk with the unemployed, Stuart is reunited with Joe and Terry two old school friends that Stuart outgrew eons ago.

Steven Burge’s comedy about the characters who frequent a Job Centre in the Essex town of Rayleigh. 

Starring Matthew Horne and Daniel Mays.
