Moving Wallpaper
''Moving Wallpaper'' is a British satirical comedy-drama television series set in a TV production unit. It ran on ITV for two series in 2008–09. The subject of the first series was the production of a soap called ''Echo Beach'', each episode of which aired directly after the ''Moving Wallpaper'' episode about its production. The second series shifted to the production of a "zombie show" called ''Renaissance''. Ben Miller confirmed in May 2009 on his Twitter account that no further series would be made. The title, ''Moving Wallpaper'', is a disparaging term applied to uninspiring television series, or to television in general, referring to the perception that modern television viewers are "mindless absorbers of images", as if staring at wallpaper. Production The show was created by Tony Jordan and produced by Kudos for ITV. Filming for series one started in July 2007 and the show began airing on ITV on 10 January 2008, continuing at 9 pm on Fridays thereafter for twelve weekly ...
