An anthology of six full-cast audio sitcom pilots from upcoming writers.

Sad Sunk Rock by Tom Worsley
After his girlfriend dumps him and he proves unbearable, Victor is sent to join three other marine biologists on the isolated island of Sad Sunk Rock; they are Elspeth, who has been there for 38 years and talks to the sheep, Deborah, who has had no contact with the outside world, and Ally, a wild-eyed Scotsman who is technically twins, slightly radioactive and who once fought an alligator in the Amazon. Victor's first thought is to return to the mainland at the first opportunity, but somehow he begins to feel that he might fit in...

Scribbling by Amy Xander
Four inhabitants of a rural, West Country town - Madeleine, Edward, Ling and Beth - reluctantly bond after joining a writers' group run by brazen new resident Laurie, a former entertainer still desperate for an audience.

Members by Jack Bradfield and Fergus Macdonald
The House of Commons during the reign of King George II is a strange and cloistered world of the corrupt and the eccentric, where the main businesses of the day are boozing, whoring, and trying to get pudding served earlier. Due to an administrative mix-up, the young Henry Fthistle finds himself elected to parliament, and finds it is almost impossible to leave.

Square Peggs by Jenny Devaux and Phil Butcher
It's the Peggs first day in their new country home, but all is not well - there's no mobile signal, no takeaway, the neighbours are... different, and Dawn's run over the previous owner's cat. Can anything else go wrong?

Golden Sands by Toby Walker
Chortle-by-Sea is a bleak, desolate and decaying seaside town, and few visitors come to purchase the peculiar novelties from Julie's gift shop or to sample the delights of Sue's chip shop. And it is not much of a place for the young, awkward Rowan and Sophie to have a blossoming romance. It is, however, the ideal place for a murder.

The Cracks are Showing by Alan Ronald and Cy Henty
When Karloff goes for an interview to be an 'office scapegoat', he is found to be too optimistic for the position, and is thrown out of the window. In his death, he is joined by painter and philosopher William Blake on a metaphysical quest through the underworld to find out who is responsible for humankind's misery.
