EPISODE 1

The Spirit of Christmas

A joyful Christmas tale as the Cornley Drama Society present the story of Santa and his elves trying to bring festive happiness to a sad little girl and her constantly-fighting parents. Can the magical toy machine restore her Christmas cheer? Or perhaps Mr Snowman and his enchanting dance will raise her spirits? We'll never know, as an already surly Santa indulges in too much Christmas sherry and contrives to ruin everything. Crackers explode, an elf is trapped in a confined space for the duration of the show and the toy machine attempts to eat the snowman alive. Also, there are songs, and these don't go well.
EPISODE 2

The Pilot

The society decides to stage a World War II drama rarely performed because of its historical inaccuracy and poor research; director Chris plays Rufus Heal, a dashing pilot reduced to a desk job cracking codes.
EPISODE 3

A Trial to Watch

A legal drama this week for our intrepid performers, with Dennis taking on a lead role due to a conversation with his grandmother that turned out to be legally binding. He plays unscrupulous defence lawyer Karl McKennon, taking on his ex-wife Becky as he defends an ex-cop accused of murdering his brother. Cornley Dramatic Society's designers have excelled themselves, constructing a number of split sets that are wheeled in and out to create the locations described in the brutal cross examinations that take place in their meticulously recreated courtroom. Sadly, this turns out to be a terrible idea: sets are mismatched, wheeled off and on at life-threatening speeds and the courtroom itself is a quarter the size it should have been.
EPISODE 4

The Lodge

The gang presents a horror production set in the 1960s, with the mysterious Albert Fortenoy welcoming a young family to his crumbling old house.
EPISODE 5

Harper's Locket

The gang turn their attentions to a period romance, a classic tale of family, duty, and love across the class divide; a beautiful set has been built to replicate a grand country home, soon to be rocked by a literal and metaphorical storm.
EPISODE 6

90 Degrees

A family saga of lust and betrayal set in the Deep South heat is ruined by a set that has taken the title of the show literally. Life and limb are put at risk and gravity ignored as our gang decide to turn the cameras sideways to fix the problem.
