12 eps told across 2 seasons for Sky introduced us to Karl Pilkington on a journey of self discovery, followed by his on screen conscience ‘inner self’. Working with our Designer, the visual flavours are a heightened aesthetic of gritty, mundane London.

I often like to work on the first few seasons of a show to continue the design story we started to tell in S1. There is often so much more you can develop for Season 2 once the roots have established and this show was no different.

Using a restricted colour palette of murky greens and ochre yellows, we punctuated the design with vibrant oranges and pinks to bring life to the tender moments our characters share on screen. Nostalgic nods to mid century design themes with warm oaks, tiled corks and vinyl seating enabled us to bed our design into the familiar and allowed us to play with rich texture contrasts throughout.

The series is set around Ladbroke Grove in London and follows Karl, a bored taxi driver who has been dumped by his girlfriend Zoe and moves in with his elderly American aunt Norma, and is struggling to get his life back on track. Karl's closest companion is the voice in his head, a sardonic, outspoken alter ego who takes the form of his double – it's the uncensored true version of Karl that says what he really thinks without the risk of offending others. As Karl attempts to move on from the break up and sort out his life, the voice in his head appears periodically to guide, criticise and dispense his unorthodox philosophy of life.
