Safe

By: Rich Heap & Michelle Wormleighton

Sitcom Mission 2016 finalist

It is 2051. The bombed-out ruins of London are being ravaged by an endless nuclear winter but, beneath the surface, life goes on. People have been living down here for ten years. Sam is pissed off. He wants the luxurious life enjoyed by the elite citizens of New London's Safe Zone - the billionaires, the aristocracy and the winners of The Great British Bake Off. With a killer at large, he sees the chance to prove he's Safe Zone material. But things quickly spiral out of control. Can Sam's smarm save him? What about outspoken sister Zoe? And where the hell is Jamie?
