BBC Scotland Comedy Pilots

Comedy shadowing a typical family and their chaotic life. They say blood is thicker than water- and no-one is thicker than The Scotts. Brothers Henry and Vincent have a love/hate relationship. They team up with their wives Laura and Vonny to organise a surprise party for their mum. How hard can it be to keep the entire family happy? Enter Colette, a sister with a grudge, who is determined to keep a feud bubbling. Will she crash the party and wreck the surprise?

Comedy about a group of addicts who come together for a weekly session. This is not AA, but an expensive post-rehab therapy treatment founded in America by the charismatic Adam Derekson. The AD Group method promises sobriety and personal growth. Our addicts may not be the best candidates for personal transformation - amidst their posturing, lies and secret affairs, each member gets their turn to be insufferable. Take away the alcohol, drugs, pills and gambling, and what they really need is each other. At this session, Rob (Grant O’Rourke) has some big news to tell the group. Steph (Sally Reid) is the group’s convener, and doesn’t want the meeting to turn into “a Rob evening, again!”. Nell (Lucianne McEvoy) veers between worrying about her kids home alone, waiting for their father to arrive, and telling everyone about the cosmetic surgery she has planned with all the money she has saved from not drinking for a whole year. There’s a new guy at the group - Tony (Bhav Joshi). Who is Tony? What’s his problem and is his story for real? What is Rob’s big news and why is Steph so on edge?

A family comedy about Tracey Daly who struggles with the chaos of her daily routine. Mother and expert multi-tasker Tracey, wrangles her three children, Katlyn, Liam and Lucy and shift-working husband Joe through the morning rush-around, while simultaneously getting the house ready for an impending visit from her ‘impossible-to-please’ mother. Tracey needs the house to be in order but with Liam and Lucy fighting over the TV again, Katlyn straightening her hair in a dangerous fashion and Joe planning a secret boys’ night out – Tracey’s day is certainly going to be a tough one to control.
