Can anyone help me name this comedy?

Its been on my mind for a while now. If I recall coreectly, it used to be on channels 4, late 90's maybe. It was about 2 (3?) security guards working nights in an office, and their hilarious escapades . It was slightly left of centre, anyone else who recall this?

Thanks
