After she had turned down the female role in the satirical sketch show Not The Nine O'Clock News in 1979, Wood was offered a sketch show of her own in 1980. However, Wood agreed only on the understanding that Walters received equal billing, not feeling confident enough as yet to go it alone. Wood had in fact only ever written one sketch three years earlier before being given her own show. She fell back on songs, which she felt was her strength, the pilot contained four in 30 minutes. The sketches concerned themselves with Marriage Guidance Council, keep fit classes, DIY and gossip. Wood hated the finished result, so was very surprised that the show was nominated for a BAFTA for Best Light Entertainment Programme alongside The Two Ronnies, The Kenny Everett Video Show and The Stanley Baxter Series (which won).

A third Wood play with Walters was made between the pilot and series for Granada. Like Wood and Walters, Happy Since I Met You also contained an appearance from another long term Wood collaborator Duncan Preston.
