- StarsVictor Lewis-SmithNickolas GraceMoya BradyThis series takes a look inside the mind of comic author, prankster, and journalist Victor Lewis-Smith as he lies immobilized in a "comic coma" in a BBC hospital for distressed broadcasters.

The result is a bold, bizarre, and hilarious collection of skits embedded within a surreal, highly innovative situation comedy format. Each episode features one or more of Mr Lewis-Smith's signature phone pranks played on some unsuspecting member of the public.

- DirectorHoward DaviesStarsJuliet StevensonJoanne WhalleyPenelope WiltonKatherine Coleridge (Joanne Whalley-Kilmer) is a basically miserable and mentally unstable woman who is married to even-aged Isobel's father, Robert (Peter Whitaker), who is the only one willing to give Katherine the unconditional love that she craves lest her inner chaos should wholly consume her. For any kind of peace of mind, she is consequently entirely dependent on him. As, however, her husband dies (of natural causes), Katherine quite instinctively transfers her primal need for all-encompassing care to his daughter, Isobel (Juliet Stevenson).

She soon realizes that Katherine needs her attention more than her boyfriend, whom she then opts to leave, to go and live with Katherine in her father's countryside cottage. The last scenes of the movie, not to be revealed here, raises the question of who, after all, were the more needful of Isobel's love.
