Moving Wallpaper Aired From January 2008 – March 2009 On ITV.

about the show:
Moving Wallpaper is set in a fictional TV production unit. The subject of the first series is the production of an actual soap called Echo Beach, each episode of which aired directly after the Moving Wallpaper episode about its production. Moving Wallpaper storylines revolve around crazed producer and ‘mastermind’ Jonathan Pope, trying to hold together an assortment of egotistic and neurotic writers and actors through the vicissitudes of Echo Beach production, while simultaneously fighting off his bitchy boss. Filmed in a mockumentary-style, this comedy-drama cleverly pokes fun at the TV industry and its players. The cast of the soap regularly appear as versions of themselves; throwing diva strops and pestering writers for more lines, providing plenty of in-jokes and cross-over stories when viewed alongside Echo Beach.
