Private Notes
Set in a hospital, Beep is a tender, bittersweet and funny sitcom about a family’s vigil at the bedside of their dad Tommy, who lies helplessly in a coma. On the day of his wedding anniversary, he is visited by his wife Liz and dysfunctional family members, including his emotionally challenged son Martin and sleep-deprived daughter Hannah.
Kwabena has been stuck in his dead-end recruitment job for way longer than he initially planned. He spends the majority of his time in reveries of accomplishing his dream: to be a filmmaker. When he bumps into Amy, an old friend from film school who is now working at a production company, he gets the chance that he’s been waiting for. Unfortunately, the once-in-a-lifetime pitching opportunity clashes with an important presentation Kwabena has to deliver for one of the recruitment company directors.
Already on a warning for his slack performance, Kwabs knows that if he bails on the presentation, he is likely to lose his job. But this pitch could also be the first step towards following his dream.

Mammoth is a comedy show about the life of PE teacher Tony Mammoth. Mammoth is a man literally out of time. In 1979 he was a happy-go-lucky PE teacher, leading a school skiing trip to the French Alps. Life was good. Right up until an avalanche decided to ruin his day by sweeping him away to what was surely his death: a death which would break the hearts of all the kids that he taught, almost all of his colleagues and several mothers, and devastate his best friend and wingman Roger Buck.
Except, of course, Mammoth didn’t die. He was miraculously found and brought back to life 42 years later. A perfectly preserved man in his forties. Just one born 86 years ago. For a time, he was a global phenomenon. The world was his oyster. But Mammoth has never really liked oysters; he's more of a pub lunch and a pint sort of bloke.
He was given the one thing that everyone at some point wishes they were given - a second chance at life. An opportunity to right wrongs.
But the simple fact is that Mammoth was pretty sure that he absolutely nailed life the first time around, so all he really wanted was his old life back. The same job. The same car. The same friends. Okay, it was bound to feel a little strange at first, but Mammoth had always believed in just getting on with things. And anyway, things couldn’t have changed that much since 1979…
New comedy pilot, written by Matt Leys and Martin Trenaman set in the tilted world of north Wales traffic police. Adapted from the successful series on BBC Radio Wales, we meet six officers in three cars who are just trying to get the job done. And, broadly, failing.
PC Dennis Babb, ex-Met, thinks he’s seen it all but hasn’t. He now faces his biggest challenge: spending all day in a car with PC Lee Cushion, a man so naive he’s never thrown a snowball or made an arrest. Sgt Vincent Price, the ‘before’ picture in an anger management advert, shares a car with PC Gavin Howells, very much the ‘after’. PC Penny Nadaraja, the Mancunian Cagney, and PC Grace Bevan, the south Walian Lacey, are best mates who do some light traffic policing on the side. And Sian, the radio despatch op, is engaged to PC Howells and keen on signs saying things like ‘sorry coffee, this is a job for prosecco’.
