Rosie Jones, panellist, bon vivant and vast legend gets a swing at a series with this "comedy blap" for Channel 4 and it's a little bare bones. Basically she's going for "what if Breaking Bad but inspired by the dire benefits situation in the UK rather than the terrible health service in the US" which on paper is a great concept but it doesn't flow particularly well. Up-and-comer McParland does a decent job as the intimidating dealer, I wouldn't be opposed to more of this and Jones getting more to do is never a bad thing but the concept needs more fleshing out.
