 The setting of the show, the fictional town of Klangbury, was partly filmed on location in Stalybridge, eight miles east of Manchester, with the group performing as councillors who regularly had to solve a serious issue in each episode or risk being fired by the town's mayor.Each episode saw them frequently performing songs and involving the audience (dubbed the "Department of Audience") for some of their sketches.In 2010, the group attempted to launch a new variety show called "The Klang Show," but only a pilot was ever created which aired on 16 August on BBC Three.
