Overview

Rescue Me is a British romantic comedy television series produced by Tiger Aspect Productions and broadcast on BBC One from 3 March to 7 April 2002. It was created, and principally written, by David Nicholls, and stars Sally Phillips as Katie Nash, a woman recovering from a divorce while at the same time writing relationship features for women's magazine Eden. Filming took place from November to December 2001. Six episodes aired, averaging 3.4 million viewers and a 15% audience share in its Sunday night timeslot. The low ratings meant it was not recommissioned for a second series, leaving an unresolved cliffhanger. Nicholls had written four episodes of the unmade second series before discovering the series had been cancelled.
