GENRE: Spoof documentary.
FORMAT: 6 x 25 mins episodes per Season.
PRODUCTION STATUS: The first Six Episodes and a feature length episode (Bernie Davis – Plumber and Exorcist) have been written.
VISION: Despite its satirical direction and quirky humour, the series is also intended to work as a strong narrative and character driven comedy, focusing on the lives of a selection of "losers" and their misguided but idealistic beliefs.
Preston himself, although verbose and occasionally megalomaniacal, is a person who cares passionately about what he does and genuinely believes himself to be the world’s greatest living investigative journalist.
