Overview
The Spa is a sitcom created, written and starring Derren Litten. It is set in a health spa in Hertfordshire and follows the daily goings-on of the business. Alison Crabbe has a vision to turn the Hertfordshire health club she manages into the ultimate recuperative retreat. And she's pretty certain she could achieve it, were it not for its doddery customers and incompetent staff. But the truth is, the bolshy boss herself - overconfident and tactless - is the impediment to the Spa's ultimate success. She makes little effort to hide her displeasure with her team, which includes a chef who can't cook, a fitness instructor who can't be bothered to exercise, a suicidal cleaner, a dippy receptionist and a forgetful, socially awkward handyman.
