1. Down Town
Where dark comedy meets insanity so commonplace, monsters uphold the law!
An irreverent & noisy parody group sketch comedy set in the dysfunctional town of Down Town, this show follows the bizarre events & disturbing antics of its' inept residents. We meet Harry Pothead, an unemployed junkie "wizard". There's also a priest who's got anger management problems & God on speed dial & the Karma Police, cops who uphold the law by breaking it themselves. The action takes place in & around the town's many location points including the Down Town Hotel, where no member of staff is wihout their quirks. And, just to top it all off, they hold the town's weekly addictions anonymous meetings here, but don't expect alcohol to be one of them...
2. Take it Like a Layman
A psychologist, a recession, a job pulling pints; out of his depth & out of his mind!
Middle class psychologist Jimmy Layman is suffering as his few remaining patients are being poached by an unscrupulous head of the local psychitric services. Feeling the squeeze, he reluctantly takes on a second job behind the bar of a working men's club; a square peg in a deep round hole. Jimmy is quickly befriended by a couple of working class regulars, Mel & Glyn, who join Jimmy in his reluctant re-acquaintance with a 'normal' life which includes mummy issues, run ins with a dodgy sperm trader, terribe karaoke, twenty-seven rides on a rolle coaster & some inappropriate mouth to mouth! As Jimmy's new life flourishes, his relationship with his wife, their oedipal son Lucas, & Mel & Glyn, becomes an entanglement of jeopardy & self evaluation; he's out of his depth, out of his mind & trying to take it like a layman!
3. Spectre Squad
In development with M4West Media, Ltd. Contact Rebecca Tranter (producer) for all enquiries & broadcast interests (rtranter@m4westmedia.com)
Four idiots hunting for ghosts on "reality" TV: unprepared, unrehearsed & completely unnerved!
Ghost hunting shows are spoofed as the cinema verite culture engulfs three friends in their ghost hunting hobby! Milo, Archie & Jules live only for the dead in their spare time. Miraculously, a low budget TV channel offers to follow them around on ghost hunts; they're unprepared, unrehearsed & completely unnerved! Ratings for the show are poor & reviews are even worse, so, thanks to the shows' producer, they are joined super hot Italian actress, Dante; a real airhead who stars in low budget ghost movies. Despite her overacting, short skirts & oozing sex appeal, the show still fails to catch on. Their ridcule is only made worse by demeaning publicity stunts, the mean kids next door & the fact the cameras just keep on rolling, exposing their human flaws & catching them in their most embarrassing moments. But the public is starting to see Milo's attraction to Dante & his struggles to get her to notice him; this could be the reality TV love story of...well, the week at least!
4. Jasper's Crash
With a roll of the dice, he lives to dare & dares to live
Middle Jasper White is a disillusioned Scenes of Crime Officer on a quest to escape life's grinding routine. Bored & unfulfilled he starts making decisions based on the role of the dice, a pursuit which becomes a crash into near madness involving sex, rally driving a police van into a lake & the worst dinner paries ever thrown! Johnny Dolenz, his contemptable, career obesse work colleague & neighbour, is a constant thorn in his side; especially as Jasper's precocious wife Katie wishes Jasper would be more like him! In turn, Johnny's dejected wife, Miriam, lusts after Jasper; although whether even she agrees with Jasper's decision making technique is another matter. Maybe he can just blame his unconventional childhood...
Based on an idea by Luke Rhinehart.
