Rise of the Appliances

Synopsis

Machines are rising up and taking over the world. Except this time they're not cool cyborgs, they're everyday household domestic gadgets, like Brevilles and Dysons. One family from a South Wales housing estate, who have filled their home with needless electronic appliances, are forced to defend themselves once their gadgets go bad.
