Attachments: A TV drama about an Internet startup


Attachments

Attachments was a British TV show shown between 2000-2002 that looked at the life and drama at a fictional Internet startup (seethru.co.uk - which was developed alongside the show). It was incredibly well written and acted, and darkly humorous (with nude skateboarding developers, one of their investors dying of a drug overdose in the toilet, and David Walliams in a pre-Little Britain 'gay Web designer' role). Despite this, I can only find a few crusty VHS cassettes of the series (no DVD?), it's never repeated on TV, and there are hardly any references on-line to it. I'm hoping that posting this will lead to someone turning up and giving a bit of information :)

I'd compel whoever has the rights on the show to release it on YouTube or something, because it's still extremely relevant, and I think the US market would totally love it. Despite being six years old, a lot of what was covered in the show is relevant to Web 2.0 startups today.

Get yerself over to uknova.com, signup (if they'll let you - they might be closed to new signups) and search/ask nicely on the forums, that normally works. You might be out of luck if it's legally available as they avoid stuff that's "legit".

I'm pretty certain that this is the show I've been trying to remember the name of for ages. It'd be great to see it again.

It was a great show...

The writers came to the startup I was at at the time to talk to us and get a feel for the startup environment and such.

My contribution was that the main geeky guy needed better t-shirts. I'm proud to say main geeky guy was later seen wearing t-shirts from whatever online store I recommended to them.

I've sent an e-mail to the production company to see if there's any information and who owns the rights. Perhaps I could organize a petition for a DVD release ;-)
