This eight-part CGI series
for ITV1 got some of the highest ratings for an animation in
the UK in the noughties - beating even South Park and the
Simpsons! It was an ambitious project - being the first
topical CGI show on telly!

favourite sketches on the show - click on the Headcases tab

We made this
film for around $300 Aussie. Mind you, given how much the
pound has crashed since we made it - that sounds quite a big
budget, now... at the time it was only about £100. It’s
obviously an extremely silly satire, and I like to think it
brought the down the Bush administration.
Despite the limitations of the micro-budget, it’s done well
at international festivals, and was: |

|
-
selected for Australia’s Tropfest (one of 12 films out
of 1200, it won Best Score);
- it won
Silver at Vienna’s Ohne Kohle Festival
- and was
selected for Cincinnatti’s International Festival of
Horror.

This is a short I directed for BBC Online, ahead of the
General Election. Turn around was about a week - as we were
responding to events on the campaign trail. Some fab
performances by a top cast, including: Little Miss Jocelyn,
Lucy Montgomery, Sarah Kendall, Alex Kirk and Isabel Fay. |

Director-Writer-Exec. Apparently there are troops of
clown-doctors who go to war-torn areas to cheer people up...
proving that truth is sillier than fiction. So I imagined
this scenario in Afghanistan.
We got an amazing deal on flights and shot this on the cheap
in Morocco. It stars the fantastic duo of Kulvinder Ghir (of
Goodness Gracious Me fame) and Dave Lamb (the voice of Come
Dine With Me).
(Original
version was 22 mins; this has been chopped down to 6.30 mins
