The End Of Fun

By: Adam Greenwood

Sitcom Mission 2010 finalist

The End of Fun is set in an alcohol rehabilitation clinic and follows one cohort of residents through their six-week course. Terry Fontaine is a restaurateur whose bistro has just gone into liquidation along with his second liver and fifth marriage; Eve Trevor, the only resident forced into rehab by court order; Jolyon Davenport, is a badly dressed young man pretending to be an alcoholic in a failed attempt to appear more interesting; and Bloody Mary, a naturally occurring vortex into which light, matter and Gin and Tonic are irreversibly sucked.
