Jack Knightly: Reluctant Superhero

By: Colin McQuaid

Sitcom Mission 2013 finalist

Jack Knightly is a convicted conman from the planet Beebosax 9. Sentenced to indefinite community service on Earth as a reluctant superhero, Jack can only return home when the authorities arbitrarily decide he has paid his debt to society. Supervising his community service is probation officer Luradia Pod who has her own personal reasons for wanting to come to Earth. Helping and hindering them both in equal measure is hero-worshipping Neil who feels privileged to work alongside Jack's secret identity as a shopping centre security guard.
