Development and production
NBC picked up the project after executive producer Todd Holland started developing the American version with the original British writer Chris Niel and producers Nira Park, Kenton Allen, and Matthew Justice in September 2010. Once the pilot was greenlit in February 2011, the workplace was shifted from talent agents in the UK original to PR executives for the US audience. Anthony Head was the sole actor to appear in both versions, portraying the boss Stephen in each.
