The black comedy continues...
20 something Sarah is about to host her very first dinner party in her new London apartment. She's invited her usual close friends, but has regrettably also invited her parents and her Aunt Rose and Uncle Bob. She's always thought Aunt Rose and Uncle Bob were an odd pairing, with Uncle Bob seeming ever too camp for words...
Hilarity ensues as the dinner party turns into a disaster: Uncle Bob displays his ever so dirty mind by associating each conversation topic with a sexual undertone and Aunt Rose becomes indescribably drunk under copious amounts of alcohol. To top it all off, one of her close male friends suddenly remembers that he's previously had a brief intimate encounter in a dark alleyway with Uncle Bob.
At least her soufflé didn't collapse...
Ah well, what can you do when Bob IS Your Uncle

Reversible JUMP!
An 80's family comedy film revolving around a body switching experience between a PhD student and his supervisor (see Freaky Friday and other body-switching films).
Nam and Jackton are a formidable supervisee-supervisor duo, taking the Statistics world by storm. As a formidable duo, they're also strangely alike; both are allergic to the same foods, share the same birthday, show a great appreciation of checked shirts, and laugh similarly. One might even say they're exchangeable...
However one day at an infamous conference, things take an odd turn as both Nam and Jackton unknowingly both wear the same outfit which corrupts the cosmic ordering of the universe and causes them to switch bodies!
Hilarity ensues as Nam and Jackton try and pass off as each other at the conference without raising any suspicion. Watch as Jackton feels the wrath his own success that Nam endures, and attempts to keep up with Nam's womanising ways, whilst Nam tries to pass off that he knows what he's doing and gets flung into the Jackton's husband-fatherhood shoes.
Find out to see if equilibrium will be restored!
All to the soundtrack of Van Halen's "Jump" of course!

Bob IS Your Uncle: Wedding Day
New black comedy featuring a set of unrelated stories and people, but with one common link: Uncle Bob (to be played by the same actor in all episodes).
This first episode sees Tom and Jane prepare for their upcoming wedding. Among the the list of attendees is Jane's Uncle Bob, an awkward fellow whose presence at the forthcoming wedding will no doubt cause some controversy.
Hilarity ensues as Tom and Jane's wedding falls to pieces with Uncle Bob turning up completely drunk, sexually harassing the bridesmaids, falsely announcing that Jane is already married, making an inappropriate unexpected speech at the reception, and destroying the wedding cake by means of a drunken random walk.
"Ah well, what can you do when Bob IS your uncle". (Freeze frame on this exact exiting line.)

Oh Athena! You're breaking my heart.
A 70s (not 1970s, but 1770s) inspired comedy featuring a single bachelor, Malcolm.
In this introductory pilot episode, we see a depressed lonely Malcolm working alone in his designated carrel at SLEX insurance. Malcolm is not happy with his job or his life, questioning the purpose of everything he does and is constantly having severe migraines. (This entire introductory sequence is shot entirely in grayscale to emphasise the mundaneness of Malcolm's life.)
One day, Malcolm decides to get his migraines checked at his GP. His GP informs him that he has rare medical condition called Zeuslaria, and cures him by cutting his headache, only to be release and be greeted by a small, mischief but street smart girl by the name of Athena. (Upon the releasing of Athena, the screen is filled with colour.)
We join Malcolm and Athena on their misadventures as Malcolm tries to teach Athena how things run in the real world. And along these misadventures, Malcolm will finally discover his purpose in life.
Oh Athena! You're breaking my heart. is shot in front of a live studio audience with (un)necessary canned laughter.

Academia Nuts
Mockumentary comedy film in the style of Arrested Development.
This film revolves around PhD student, Robert, and his misadventures as he tries to keep his department afloat, with many of the members of staff and fellow students being quite...irrational in their thinking.
Despite Robert desperate wanting to leave the madhouse, he can't but feel a little attached to the unfortunate inmates.
Scenes to be included (many to be commentated in my best Ron Howard-esque voice):
"Professor Jones had recently been awarded the Best Posterior award at what he thought was the American Statistical Society conference. It was in fact just the plain ASS conference, and despite his many years practising Bayesian ethics, he had never seen quite so many bare posteriors."
"Dr Singh was walking down Bond Street in London when a sleezy man approached him and stated that he was a big fan of his work and that one day, he'd aspire to make his own Markov Chain explode. Dr. Singh was both touched and confused by this remark, yet he was willingly led down the alleyway."

The Difficult Second Album
Documentary centred around the popular band "Nam and the Nam-ettes" and the making of their second album.
(In my best documentary voice-over voice)
"Nam and the Nam-ettes" recently achieved success with their first album, "Point Change", an album full of TV theme tunes and parodies, fused with a new wave techno sound. This was both a critical and commercial success with the album selling into the tens, and The Guardian's infamous one worded review of "Para-don't!". This culminated in a worldwide tour, and a film adaptation of the story thus far with Kevin Spacey playing the role of Nam.
We take an exclusive look behind the scenes as the band tries to make their follow up album "The HMMs...", as they try to recreate the magic and success of the first. It is the Difficult Second Album.
Tensions arise between the bandmates due to their artistic differences, the controversy surrounding the song "The Loose Seal", and the general unimpressed looks of the band's new collaborators and producers on their new sound.
One thing's for certain; more cowbell is definitely needed.
