Belonging Let Us Entertain You

Dave Black, from Colchester, Essex, has decided to give up his job as a bus controller to become a full time Elvis Presley tribute act. Since he was a child, Dave had wanted to be an entertainer and, after entering a talent competition at work a few years ago, he discovered that he had a natural flair for impersonating the king of rock ‘n' roll. Now 52, he is finally ready to take the plunge. He has taken redundancy and has invested over £10,000 in costumes and singing lessons, to
enhance his performance – from lavish jumpsuits to expensive wigs.

On a mission to sell his act to England's thriving holiday park sector, we follow Dave as he attends a nationwide talent showcase. He will have just 10 minutes to impress some of England's leading entertainment agents and bookers.

Already on the agents' books is Karen Tomlinson (a.k.a. ‘Jessie J'). Known for her high energy and on-point delivery, Karen tours the country delivering her act – with the summer holidays being her busiest period. But Karen has been off the circuit for a couple of years, following
the birth of her son, and is only just coming back. With staycations putting higher demands on entertainers in this most competitive of industries, the pressure is on. We follow her over the six-week summer holidays as she racks up thousands of miles on the road and performs to venues across the country, all the while juggling commitments with her role as a parent.

Wild Cards

Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.

The Handmaid's Tale is the story of life in the dystopia of Gilead, a totalitarian society in what was formerly the United States. Facing environmental disasters and a plunging birthrate, Gilead is ruled by a twisted fundamentalism in its militarized ‘return to traditional values'. As one of the few remaining fertile women, Offred is a Handmaid in the Commander's household, one of the caste of women forced into sexual servitude as a last desperate attempt to repopulate the world. In this terrifying society, Offred must navigate between Commanders, their cruel Wives, domestic Marthas, and her fellow Handmaids – where anyone could be a spy for Gilead – all with one goal: to survive and find the daughter that was taken from her.
