Crashing is a British comedy drama series commissioned by Channel 4 and produced by Big Talk Productions. The six-part series premiered on 11 January 2016.
Written by and starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Crashing follows the lives of six twenty-somethings living together as property guardians in a disused hospital, keeping the building safe in exchange for cheap rent and a strict set of rules. The series also features Waller-Bridge's Broadchurch co-star Jonathan Bailey.
The story began as two plays, written by Waller-Bridge, which were developed for television by the production company, Big Talk.
The setting of the show was inspired by Middlesex Hospital, an abandoned hospital located in Fitzrovia near the production company's offices.
