Dead At 30

“Dead At Thirty” was commissioned as one of five sitcom pilots by Channel 4 in 1991, in a series called “Bunch Of Five”.

Written by Paul Whitehouse and Charlie Higson, it was a pure and simple flatshare comedy. Most notably, it was the show where Paul & Charlie met Mark Williams, later to become a stalwart of The Fast Show.

The show aired in Summer 1992, but didn’t go to series, alas, although the series scripts (which were written) were extremely funny...

Dead At 30

"Monstroso"

In which the lives of four perfectly ordinary rational flat-sharers are destroyed by a giant cartoon ant and a sink plunger.

First Tx: Wednesday 3rd June 1992, 10.30pm Channel 4
