Says On The Tin
Comedy capers set in the cutthroat world of advertising.
Disgraced in the US, maverick ad man Eliott Thurber is forced to transfer to the newly opened London offices of Parabola Media. The clash of cultures has hilarious consequences as he tries to cope with promoting a range of peculiar products, challenging clients and not to mention his disgruntled new colleagues. His first assignment is a gourmet cat food for an intensely conservative company but Eliott has his eyes on a bigger prize, American investment in the NHS. After all, "where there's pain, there's gain..." Can the media mastermind win over a whole new market? Or will his eccentric ways see him fall even further from favour?
Laugh out loud over six episodes of this fast paced comedy drama set in the shallow, dog-eat-dog world of advertising. The series features the brilliant Pippa Haywood, star of Green Wing and Prisoner's Wives and Samantha Bond, best known for playing Miss Moneypenny in the James Bond movies and her role in the BAFTA-nominated Outnumbered.
Michael Brandon, from the classic TV show Dempsey And Makepeace as well as Jerry Springer The Opera, plays Eliott Thurber. Says On The Tin is written by Christopher William Hill and is an absolute treat for any listeners who have enjoyed Trevor's World Of Sport, Chambers and Legal, Decent, Honest And Truthful.
