[2] The series followed Carl, Andy and Jon as three self-proclaimed Generation X-ers going through life without any real responsibilities to worry them.

The responsibilities of potential fatherhood are weighing down on each in a different way: Carl's girlfriend is desperate for commitment, Jon is torturing himself over the daughter he gave up for adoption when he was 17, and Andy discovers that it is he who may be soon enjoying the pleasures of being a parent.

This sets off a series of events, leading each to explore their new challenges and grow past their Gen X labels.

Jon begins a downward spiral that ends with a second suicide attempt forcing him to grow up and become a parent.

Burn It was written by Matt Greenhalgh and produced by Red Production Company, an organisation most notable for its many cutting-edge, northern dramas such as Clocking Off, Conviction [1], New Street Law and Linda Green.

To a soundtrack of North West England bands and musicians, including New Order, The Stone Roses and The Charlatans to name but a few, the show displayed a lazy world of drinking, drug consumption, and casual sex.

According to Red Production Company a DVD release is not possible due to difficulty in clearing copyrights for music used.

Episode Two Jon takes drastic action when he finds out that his parents are divorcing and that he has no right to have contact with his daughter.

Meanwhile, Andy is uncertain about girlfriend Emma's decision to abort their baby, and Carl having fun with 18-year-old Kelly, the daughter of one of his clients.

Episode Seven Jon faces some angry attempts at blackmail from his new-found daughter, who is still stung by the belief that she was abandoned.
