Wiki.
High Times is a Scottish comedy drama on STV, based around the lives of two flatmates and their neighbours in a high-rise tower block in Glasgow, in the last weeks before its closure for renovation. There are six episodes of stories interlinking the lives of a number of families.
High Times was developed by Rooney from a short film entitled Blackout, produced by STV as part of their NewFoundLand initiative, and was the first and only series to be developed into a completed drama series from that initiative, co-funded by Scottish Screen.
The first series of High Times won a BAFTA Scotland award in 2004 for Best Scottish television drama and was shortlisted for the 2005 Rose d'Or and Prix Italia television awards. In the same year it also won the award for Best Drama Series at the Celtic Film and Television Festival.

The first series has been sold to various stations in South America, where it has become one of the continent's most watched television series.In June 2010 it was announced that High Times would be one of the STV archive programmes to be made available on YouTube on the STV Player channel.
