Timewasters
TV Show · Comedy · Drama

Created by Daniel Lawrence Taylor, Timewasters is a ½ hour comedy about a four-piece South London jazz band that time travels via an elevator in a dilapidated block of flats. Met with stares and curiosity in both the 1920s and 1950s, the group hilariously navigates the clash of cultures and social conventions all while exploring worlds that are both incredibly familiar and painfully foreign.
