Crashing is a Brit Com written by and starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge and directed by George Kane. It was produced by Big Talk Productions and commissioned by Channel 4.The central premise is a Reconstructed, financially realistic Roommate Com. The series follows a group of half-a-dozen twenty-somethings who live together on the same floor in a disused London hospital under a scheme called Property Guardians, where tenants pay cheap rent in exchange for watching over uninhabited buildings that would otherwise be occupied by squatters or fall prey to vandalism. The place is run down and definitely not up to health codes, but its cheap, making it a desirable home for broke oddball young adults.Spontaneous and irresponsible Lulu (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) arrives at the hospital to catch up with her childhood friend and long-standing crush, Anthony (Damien Molony), who's living with his fianceé Kate (Louise Ford), who is uptight and awkward despite her best efforts. Living on the same floor is the electric and caddish estate agent Sam (Jonathan Bailey), the shy but excitable Fred (Amit Shah), and the dry-witted, self-possessed artist Melody (Julie Dray). And then there's Colin (Adrian Scarborough), a maudlin, middle-aged divorcé suddenly thrust into the hospital's madness.It consists of a single six-part series that premiered on 11 January 2016. | |

Non-Residential Residence | |
| Crashing (UK) / int_116eeb4a | comment |
Non-Residential Residence: The characters reside in an abandoned hospital under the Property Guardians scheme (which really does exist). Tenants pay cheap rent to live as sanctioned squatters, watching over uninhabited buildings that might otherwise be occupied by non-sanctioned squatters. They're supposed to follow a strict set of rules (the whole point is to prevent the vandalism that is associated with non-sanctioned squatters) but no one actually follows them. | |

Roommate Com | |
| Crashing (UK) / int_151f47fc | comment |
Roommate Com: The show follows the lives of a half-dozen twentysomethings metropolitan neighbors. The twist is that it's a Reconstruction of the financial aspects of this trope. It Averts the usual "Friends" Rent Control and instead has the characters living together on the same floor of a disused London hospital as as sanctioned squatters under a scheme called Property Guardians. | |

The Tease: Lulu is always flirting with Anthony, and Sam is always flirting with Fred. Both try to play it off as "just how they are"—they're always flirting with everyone! But both actually have a crush on said person. | |

Cock Fight | |
| Crashing (UK) / int_28ea0e57 | comment |
Cock Fight: An interesting Gender Inverted example. Sam and Will are two overtly masculine men, competing over Fred, a somewhat less masculine man. Will is Fred's boyfriend; Sam is Fred's best friend who has a crush on him. Sam and Will increasingly dislike each other; Sam as a Crazy Jealous Guy, and Will because Sam's both kind of a dick, and flirting with his boyfriend. The twist is that — because these are two men competing over a third man — the homoerotic elements of the relationship between the suitors is highlighted. While Sam and Will can't stand each other, they do seem turned on by each other sometimes. They Almost Kiss, and then later actually kiss. While they're actually in a Love Triangle over Fred, it plays out as Belligerent Sexual Tension between them. | |

Mistaken for Gay | |
| Crashing (UK) / int_561dab6b | comment |
Mistaken for Gay: Lulu, Jessica, and Anthony all variously seem to find the idea of Kate as a repressed lesbian to be plausible. Her attraction to her fiancé Anthony seems tenuous at best. She isn't comfortable with him seeing her naked, he struggles to make her orgasm, and she drunkenly confesses that she doesn't love him. If she were a lesbian, Last Het Romance would provide a very convenient, no-blame way to end their relationship. But Kate's not a lesbian. This makes the situation with Anthony much… stickier. | |

Creator Thumbprint | |
| Crashing (UK) / int_5a22609e | comment |
Creator Thumbprint: Crashing is Phoebe Waller-Bridge's earliest work that made it to screen. Some of the motifs from it can be seen again in her later works. Lulu and Kate are obvious proto-versions of the sisters in Fleabag. A pair of Foils, one a "vulnerable rascal", an endearing but dysfunctional Hard-Drinking Party Girl and Lovable Sex Maniac, projecting bravado as a protective shield; the other an uptight Control Freak who has her life more put together, but is jealous of the rascal's charisma. A Lovable Sex Maniac has recently lost a parent to cancer of a sexual body part. There's a genetic component, so alongside their grief, the child is also haunted by the possibility of getting the disease themselves. They could be killed by this sexual aspect of their own body that they prize so highly, or alternatively, they might have to amputate that part to beat the cancer, which would cause a total breakdown of identity and lifestyle for this person. Here, it's Sam, his dad, and testicular cancer. In Fleabag it's the protagonist, her mom, and breast cancer. Melody and Colin are a less-obvious proto-version of Villanelle and Eve in Killing Eve. A slightly-inverted May–December Romance where a hot young woman sets her eyes on a frumpy middle-aged person and decides that this is who she vehemently, unambiguously wants. The middle-aged love interest is the more ambivalent half of the relationship, partly intrigued and partly confused by her interest in them. | |

Standard Office Setting: Kate works at a London company called Something Events where Kate works, along with her Colin and Jessica. Lulu gets a Nepotism job there as a secretary, and Kate doesn't like having her both at home and at work. It has a bullpen setup that makes it easy for characters to communicate and interact. | |

Game of Chicken | |
| Crashing (UK) / int_61801647 | comment |
Lulu and Anthony are forever playing a Game of Chicken, daring each other to confess their feelings and make a move — and before it can get too real, they do an about-face, mock the idea it could've been real, and claim "Just Joking" Justification to cover it up. Ostensibly their constant flirting with each other is just some sort of weird Inside Joke. | |

Mistaken for Suicidal: Early in the season, Colin — fresh off a divorce — sings a spontaneous song about wanting to die most mornings and seems familiar with how the crisis hotline Will works at operates. In the final episode, Melody has him pose by an open window. She leaves him alone to confront Sam, and when they return Colin is unconscious on the ground below. Melody assumes he jumped. When Colin comes to, he admits that he really did just lose his balance and fall out the window. | |

Like Brother and Sister: Zig-Zagging Trope. Childhood Friends Anthony and Lulu swear up and down that they're Like Brother and Sister. They say it so often and so insistently that you might briefly consider the possibility it could be true. But they also flirt with each other constantly. When Lulu tries to get with other guys, Anthony responds like a Crazy Jealous Guy. They go so far as to confess their feelings for each other and then cover it up with "Just Joking" Justification. The other characters treat their relationship as suspect because Everyone Can See It. At the end of the season, they hook up. | |

Cringe Comedy: A subplot of episode 4 sees Lulu, in need of money, visiting her aunt with Anthony. Said aunt seemingly intentionally gets both of them drunk, is oddly touchy with Lulu, and fixated on figuring out how to get her out of overalls. This does not deter a strapped for cash Lulu in the slightest. Episode 5 has a hungover Lulu vomiting into a pot of curry Anthony is preparing, trying to cover it up with spices, and then watching Anthony serve the dish to Kate. | |

Secretly-Gay Activity: We've got our sexual tension between a gay guy and a "straight" guy, but it's an Inverted Trope. Our gay guy, Fred, is quiet and shy and would probably never have the nerve to flirt with Sam. It's "straight" Sam who's flirting at every turn, leaving Fred perplexed. Fred is, if anything, trying to ignore his friend's flirting and continue pursuing a relationship with his openly gay boyfriend instead. | |

The Muse: Melody strongarms Colin into becoming the inspiration for her art. It's an Inverted or Gender-Inverted Trope in that the hot young woman is the artist and the plain-looking middle-aged man is the muse, and that inversion is Played for Laughs. By the end of the series, though, they're weirdly the least messy pairing among the group. | |

Stepford Snarker: Sam's a twat, and he doesn't hesitate to play the "dead dad" card to get his way in the first episode, but Episode 2 shows he's taking his father's recent passing pretty hard and acting obnoxious to hide his grief. | |

My Sister Is Off-Limits: Anthony tells Sam that Lulu is off-limits and frequently tries to stop them from hooking up. All the other main characters tell Anthony it's none of his business. | |

Team Mom | |

Team Mom: Kate perceives herself as such. In actually its fairly downplayed, but everyone turns to her when something breaks in the hospital. | |

Friend Versus Lover | |
| Crashing (UK) / int_fc4f3b4f | comment |
Friend Versus Lover: Kate, Anthony's fiancee, is jealous of his relationship with childhood friend, Lulu. Sam is also jealous of Will and often acts out to get Fred's attention instead. Subverted Trope in both cases, and both "friends" actually have crushes on their friend, and that's why they're jealous. | |

Will They or Won't They? | |
| Crashing (UK) / int_fdc1e848 | comment |
Will They or Won't They?: Lulu and Anthony are forever playing a Game of Chicken, daring each other to confess their feelings and make a move — and before it can get too real, they do an about-face, mock the idea it could've been real, and claim "Just Joking" Justification to cover it up. Ostensibly their constant flirting with each other is just some sort of weird Inside Joke. Sam loves to tease and cuddle Fred, and monopolize his time, openly flirting — all the while claiming he's straight and there's nothing to it. Melody and Colin are a much more downplayed version than the others, but they cycle ambiguously through muse and artist, friends, and potential lovers. | |
