Picture the worst theme park you've ever visited – and you have Bill Crisp's Animation Studio. Once a venerable British institution, the suits behind the show appear to have lost their head. Squeezing himself into a skin-tight, filthy canary costume, new-comer Jack will do anything to get his foot in the door of the TV industry. Even if it means being locked inside a boardroom with the worst four people you'll ever have the displeasure of meeting. From heart, to screen.
