Jumping The Shark

A celebration of the TV sitcom and its place in our hearts, inspired by some of the greatest comedy
writing legends - John Sullivan (Only Fools And Horses), Tom Anderson (Cheers), and Brian Cooke (Man About The House).

Five strangers gather in the conference room of a small hotel in Farnham. Despite character differences, one thing links Pam, Gavin, Morgan, Dale, and Amy... they all want to realise their dreams through comedy. Frank Donohue, the finest sitcom writer of his generation, has flown in from Los Angeles to conduct a seminar teaching his five lucky disciples how to write the perfect TV sitcom. But as he reveals the tricks of the trade, their everyday lives are exposed, leading to mix ups, farcical revelations... and gut-wrenching tragedy.
