Tropes used in Clocking Off include:

• British Accents: Mancunian. Ironically, Philip Glenister is famous for playing Mancunians Mack and Gene Hunt, but he is actually from the South.
• British Brevity: There are four series, and none was longer than seven episodes.
• Kitchen Sink Drama: A modern take on the genre.
• House Fire: Happens to Yvonne in episode 2.
• I Kiss Your Foot: Mack does this to his wife Catherine. It tells you everything you need to know about the dynamics in their marriage.
• Loads and Loads of Characters: There are four series, and each episode reveals the life of a character who is generally in the background during the rest of the series. This adds up to quite a lot of people.
• Oop North: Set in Manchester.
• A Touch of Class, Ethnicity, and Religion: Working class. Mack could be described as working class made good, because he's a wealthy factory owner with a working class accent.
• Workaholic: Mack
• Work Com: Actually somewhat averted. The characters all work in the same factory, but the stories are really about their personal lives, not about their jobs.
• Your Cheating Heart: Catherine. With anything in trousers.
