Spud
This is an average story of a very average woman. Of Spud, carer for her father, who cooks, cleans and serves badly and half-heartedly. A woman who is never seen or thanked. Ignored. A woman who, in spite of what society tells her, does not feel bad about herself. Who despite not being young, or a mother, or worst of all, beautiful, is actually quite happy in herself, if not her life.
Then, one day, everything changes, and Siobhan may have to come out of the shadows and be seen.

Quiet Life
A social media meltdown forces Geoffrey to reassess his life and values.

Dave's Games
Animation. It's 1995, and welcome to Dave's Games: your one-stop shop for all things video games, from computers and consoles to poppers and Pogs - and how can you forget the floor-to-ceiling piles of plastic game cartridges?
Self-appointed ‘gaming legend', shop owner and father (in that order), Dave is the king of his own crumbling kingdom. Sure, there is mould on the ceiling and some of the oldest video games you've ever seen (even for 1995), but it's the only games shop in town. At least until the gigantic, shiny, futuristic rival shop Turbo Gamez opens just down the road. And they also happen to be releasing the newest and most sophisticated piece of gaming technology the world has ever seen: the first PlayStation…

Cable Tied
Two inept burglars stumble upon a moral dilemma during a break-in that could change their lives forever. Dark comedy drama about morality and consequences.

I Am Darren
Sports mockumentary about GB Paralympian Darren Silverstone, who stole the hearts of a nation before his infamous chokey-o in Tokyo. For the first time, he tells his story - and starts his glorious comeback.
In Tokyo 2020, Darren Silverstone was the Paras GB poster boy. (He was on yoghurts, too.) He cruised to the final and charmed the nation along the way with his signature dance move, the dazzle. But as he took that final bend ready to take gold, Silverstone lost his head and celebrated too soon - and in the process, became a national figure of fun.
His subsequent journey in the public eye brought approval and consternation in equal measure: from those unforgettably self-deprecating betting adverts to his turn on The Masked Singer as Breadbin. Darren's best friend and pilot rider in Tokyo, little Paul Potter, was never seen again in the public eye. The two haven't spoken since.
And now, Silverstone's back. Ready to take to the tandem at Paris 2024. But is he ready? Who will he be riding with? This is I Am Darren.
