 When in their twenties, the trio move into and share a flat in Battersea, south-west London, which Matthew bought with his inheritance, and the series follows their lives as flatmates.Created and written by Andrew Davies and Bernadette Davis, and produced by Hat Trick Productions for the BBC, "Game On" was aimed at twenty-somethings, the same age group as the principal cast of the show.The title, originally derived from a stock screen term used by 1980s early computer video games to initiate a competitive encounter, was taken from English urban slang speech of the 1990s lad culture of which the principal character Matthew Malone was an exemplar.
