British Broadcasting Crisis

There’s nothing good on TV any more, at least, that’s what the public seem to think.

Having cut their teeth with the student sketch group the Oxford Revue, Zach and Oli have decided to take on television. Not in a meaningful way, you understand; they will still have to pay their license fee after this…

Join two downtrodden TV casting directors as they try to find something, anything, that the public will watch. Expect wacky characters, dramatic actors, desperate writers, power mad streaming services and variable viewing figures! Find the answers to questions like: Have either Zach or Oli worked in TV before? Do they know what they are doing? Is this technically slander? Do either Oli or Zach have the legal qualifications or funds to defend themselves? All this may or may not be answered in: British Broadcasting Crisis!

Praise for Burns’s previous show Scrapped! "ridiculous, witty and hilarious" (The Cherwell) "A genuinely funny evening" (Oxford Opening Night)
