Web comedy launched by village company

08 November 2007

THE latest episode of a hit web-based comedy drama series produced by a
Rickinghall production company is about to go on line.

Featuring Timmy Mallett, Tim Brooke-Taylor, and Holby Blue actor David Sterne, Before I Get a Job is the work of local TV production company Recentworks. Producer Debbie Gray said the series has really hit the ground running.

"It's tough to get people to follow a series on the internet, but they are watching in growing numbers. We have a really great cast - a mix of newcomers such as Oli Lavery who plays the lead character Bruno, and experienced and well known actors such as David Sterne from BBC's Holby Blue, who plays Bruno's dad. In the latest episode viewers should watch out for cameo roles from Tim Brooke-Taylor as the baddy Dr Moebius, and Timmy Mallett who plays himself. "

Debbie says she has also made sure that local actors and production crew have been involved. "This region is so rich in talent. It's been great to find so many professionals who are as determined as we are to make Before I Get A Job a huge success."

The series - strictly for 18+ - follows the exploits of 24 year old Bruno Dragoon as he works tirelessly NOT to get a job! He has been spoilt by his father all his life - but now his dad is threatening to cut off him unless he seeks employment. The wily Bruno tells his father he will get a job - but only when he has fulfilled his dreams. And Bruno prepares a list of dreams which he assumes will be impossible to achieve - such as wrestling a demon, going in to space and being James Bond. He never imagines that his jealous brothers and sisters are so determined
to get Bruno through his list and in to work, that they set about making his dreams comes true.

This episode - in which Bruno fulfills his desire to be James Bond - was filmed at Pentney Lakes near Swaffham. Debbie says: "The location is so important and the Lakes provided the perfect backdrop for us - they are 'acting' as Lake Geneva, and with clever manipulation by our graphic artist, you'd never think we were in Norfolk!"
