Stand And Deliver

By: Daniel Flinter & Elizabeth Rhodes

Sitcom Mission 2010 finalist

After a heist goes wrong, sisters Mavis and Josie end up with vibrators instead of plasma screens, and, on planning to ditch the evidence at an innocent charity shop, they have a brainwave, deciding to take it over for personal profit. The only trouble is the owner, Bernard - so they have fun terrorising him and selling his wife's ashes as drugs for cash, accidentally eating the rest.
