The more of "Colin from Accounts" I watch, the more I'm absolutely certain that at pitch stage there was a completely different version of "DMV" that Harriet Dyer (and probably the rest of the cast, from Tim Meadows on) signed up for.

"DMV" is apparently based on a story that sounds very bleak & blackly comic, about a woman in a dull job driven to horrible extremes by loneliness & desperation; by contrast the show is just a "race to the next zinger" workplace comedy full of "characters", that falls flat in a crowded sub-genre.
