Synopsis

The All Together stars Martin Freeman (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Office) as Chris – a frustrated, over-worked and under-paid television producer who is desperately seeking a new home, career, girlfriend and best friend. Having arranged for several local estate agents to come and value his house which he reluctantly shares with his free-loader flatmate Bob (Velibor Topic – Kingdom of Heaven, Snatch), Chris is unexpectedly called in to work, forcing him to leave Bob in charge of showing the agents around the property. Bob promises Chris that when the doorbell rings, he’s going to open it and invite anyone he sees standing there inside. For once, Bob resolves not to fail his only friend. Understandably, when Chris returns later that evening with a colleague - arrogant television presenter Jerry Davies (Richard Harrington – Rehab, Spooks) - he is quite surprised to find a deeply disorientated American gangster holding his flatmate, four estate agents, two Jehovah’s Witnesses and a terrified children’s entertainer captive in the kitchen. It’s at this point that things start to get a bit strange.

Synopsis

The Buck Rules is a black comedy which follows the lives of five social misfits whose movie infatuated lifestyle has been thrown into turmoil by the depletion of their 'easy money' trust fund. Hillary, Lyle, Edwin, Stevie and Ronald Mcdonald break down their choices into these options: kidnapping, illegal goods production or armed robbery. All of them must face the very things that drove them to a life in front of the television. With the quest for funds underway, we follow each group member as they attempt to complete their phase of the operation. We meet Edwin's grandfather with his alleged Mafia links, Lyle's foul-mothed little brother, Hillary's crazy father and a traumatised Rent and Repent video shop employee named Humpty. When these characters are combined with a machine gun, an oversized grinder and an elephant cannon, the Vernon Vault's chances of keeping its assets intact are greatly reduced.
