Go Home Jordan Brookes

A taster for a mixed-media, autobiographical-fiction sitcom.

In 2020, Jordan Brookes returned to his parents' house in the country after suffering a mental breakdown living in London. This is a fictional retelling of that story. The show blends reality, fantasy, nostalgia and something in between - all told through Jordan's unique lens.

Jordan is stuck. Living in The City has left him worn out and existentially muddled. And, as he breezes past the age of 35, he's starting to realise he might have left it too late to decide what he wants to do with his life.

So Jordan returns home to The Country, to the warm embrace of his tranquil home life and lovely, doting parents. So far, so My Family (sort of). But it's not that simple...

Finding a treasure trove of old (and genuine) VHS tapes from his childhood, Jordan delves into his past to save his future, facing his demons in an attempt to find himself again, and work out 'where it all went wrong', with the help of his family, old friends and often troubling flights of fancy.

But is there any such thing as a 'fix' or a 'cure'? Is there any place we can really call 'home'? Why are his childhood toys talking to him? And why does Jordan keep having an urge to snog his mum?
