Production and broadcast

edit

The series was officially commissioned by Channel 4 in May 2014 after a successful pilot the previous year.[5] The BBC had previously turned down the series after reading the script.[6]

Catastrophe was named after the following quotation from the movie Zorba the Greek. "I'm a man, so I married. Wife, children, house, everything. The full catastrophe."[7]

The original theme for the series, "Catastrophe Theme", was composed by Oli Julian.[8]

On 28 January 2015, the show was renewed for a second series, which aired in October 2015.[9] Jay Hunt, Channel 4's chief creative officer, said: "Catastrophe is a real comedy gem. Sharon and Rob have done a magnificent job and we're already looking forward to series two".[10]

Season 3 was filmed in late 2016. Carrie Fisher, who plays Mia, died on 27 December 2016 shortly after filming of series 3 of Catastrophe had concluded. This was her final TV role.[11] The final episode of series 3 is dedicated to her, with the simple words "For Carrie" appearing on screen alongside a photograph of Fisher following the credits.

Series 4 was filmed in early to mid 2018 and was the series' last.[12]

For series 4, production visited Beacon House in Whitstable, Kent, which doubled as a house in Boston, and was used for the filming of Mia's (Carrie Fisher) funeral. Another location in Whitstable which featured in the filming was The Lobster Shack. The Pantiles in Royal Tunbridge Wells also featured and doubled as Boston.[13]
