Sitcom in which Holly Burn and David Mills play a pair of ridiculous housemates.
The main characters are "a bit stuck" and "entering middle-age and not sure where they fit in life. They're trying but they're not really getting anywhere in life, they're going round in circles."
Holly is an influencer and David is a "toast sculptor". Neither is particularly successful and neither want to get proper jobs.
"They're entitled and don't want to work that hard but all of a sudden their house is under threat" says Mills. "They have to earn some money or get a housemate but they hate people and they hate working. So how are they supposed to live this fabulous life if they have to make compromises?"
Linda Marlowe plays Holly's grandmother, who's allowed the pair to live rent-free in a house she owns for five years. But at the beginning of the pilot, she FaceTimes them to inform them they need to start financially contributing, as she's given all of her money to QAnon.
In an outlandish wig and contact lenses, stunt comic Luke McQueen plays "a sort of Kim Kardashian-esque plastic surgery conman with hyperreal Instagrammer vibes", while Sam Fletcher portrays a ventriloquist with a dummy that the pair interview as a prospective housemate.
