Pope Idol

New Simon Cowell-esque show which is on the search for the new Pope (This is a month old but hey...)

Over the top search for the next leader of the Roman Catholic Church, complete with X Factor introduction "HAS ONLY SINNED 4 TIMES", etc. 

Soundtrack is a trance version of Allegri's Miserere with inappropriate, suggestive dancers who dress up as choir boys, before disrobing and gyrating on the altar.

Simon Cowell acts as head judge and Gok Wan hosts.

The Kiddie Table

"Humourous" black comedy play turned sitcom (akin to Chalk) which is set completely in a common room in a Statistics department.

The play centers around the lunchtime banter between the academic staff and Phd students in a Statistics department at a red brick university. The two groups keep separate from one another over lunch, discussing politics and the latest TV gossip respectively. 

However, over the course of the play, the boundaries blur. The academic staff start discussing childish things (like "How to make a sheep explode") whilst the PhD students have a lively sensible discussion on how The Big Bang Theory is an accurate portray of people. Things get worse when one day, the staff start playing with their food and initiate a food fight.

Question is, who's sitting at the kiddie table?

Chink in the Armour

A one man play (think those dreadful, arty shows at the Edinburgh Fringe where they beg for an audience) where a British Born Chinese bares his soul to a sparse audience. 

Adrian discusses his upbringing as a British Born Chinese where he's always seeking approval from others, never seems entirely satisfied and never handles a compliment well. There were some good times however; he's got impeccable manners and has bizarre knowledge of 90s culture.

He discusses his plan to go for the hat trick of parental disappointment by being absent from his graduation, probably not getting married, and probably not bearing any children. He'll by a chink in his family's suit of armour....

The Wong Number

Highly offensive and crude BBC3 comedy about a Chinese takeaway couple and their misfortunes.

Mr and Mrs Wong own a popular Chinese takeaway in Bolton but also frequently get wrong numbers from all over the world. Hilarity, mischief and mayhem ensues as the diallers get them involved with UN missions, glamour modelling and phone-sex.
