The Coming of Age production joined forces with BBC Introducing (a BBC wide project that supports unsigned, undiscovered and under-the-radar artists and DJs) to find the original theme tune and sound for the show.

They worked with up-and-coming artists Kate Goes, Cheeky Cheeky and the Nosebleeds, Emmy the Great, Dolby Anol and Luke Leighfield to create tracks for the show.

Kate Goes worked with experienced composer Richie Webb - whose credits include That Mitchell and Webb Look and Comedy Shuffle - to create the theme tune. The other artists' music is heard throughout the series.

Tony Bignell (Matt) and Joe Tracini (DK) are the only actors from the 2007 pilot to also feature in the series. The other actors were either replaced or decided they didn't want to be part of the full series.
