The Crew Room (TV sitcom)

When Jean Paul Sartre said Hell is other people, he was thinking of the crew room at Sports First Regional Distribution Centre.

Minimum wage doesn’t mean minimum lives and zero hours contracts don’t equate to zero characters. Our four heroes have come from the four corners of the UK, only to find they’re going nowhere, except on to the next pitiful pay cheque, but their lack of power doesn’t come from a lack of spirit. Whether they’re battling each other to come out top, or uniting to hide the latest cock-up from management, the eponymous crew never cease their ability to grasp the wrong end of the stick, but still they drive on in the hope that one day, life will get better.

Whether it’s becoming a gay dad, finding love after forty, overcoming infertility, or doing the best for your disabled son, the crew prove time and time again that the working poor, who are anything but just about managing, may have to live with the reality of straining their heads against a perspex ceiling, but their resilience shines through like a pound in a turd.

  • Full script (pilot) and treatment available.
  • Outlines for six series (six episodes per series) completed.

But Donnelly’s ruthless determination to enforce regulations on sexuality puts him on a collision course with both Spooner and a Ministry department more concerned with political expediency and the Army’s reputation than the secrets of a very military marriage. Contains scenes of an adult nature.
