RDF Television set to produce comedy pilot for CH4
19th March 2009
Arrested Development star David Cross has written a sitcom pilot for Channel 4's second Comedy Showcase season.
Cross will star in 'The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret', a culture-clash comedy he has written with Shaun Pye for RDF Television.
American Todd Margaret (David Cross) bluffs his way into an apparently great job opportunity, heading up the sales team in his employer's London office. All he has to do is sell several thousand energy drinks before his boss visits him in a week. Simple. Apart from the fact that he knows nothing about British culture and nothing about sales. This is further complicated when he lies continuously to cover his ignorance and spectacularly fails to impress Alice the first beautiful girl he meets. Dave his British co-worker, soon takes full advantage of Todd's situation and chaos ensues.
Executive Producer is RDF TV's Clelia Mountford, Head of Comedy.
The first showcase, screened last year, generated full series of 'Plus One', 'Free Agents' and 'The Kevin Bishop Show'
