- Sam Campbell—known from Taskmaster and Last One Laughing—stars in the new sitcom "Make That Movie", playing a former big‑shot director who now drives a van with a giant model camera to help strangers create bizarre low‑budget films.
- Make That Movie's debut episode features a Da Vinci Code‑style thriller about a couple who intermittently turn into snakes, while another episode follows pensioners making a cyber‑thriller about online scammers by singing and inserting USB cables into their mouths.
- Superbreast is an AI chatbot that appears alongside CGI snakes and animated feet in 23‑minute episodes of "Make That Movie", cramming multiple characters, ideas, and finished productions into a rapid‑fire format.
Why it matters: Fans of high‑concept comedy gain a fresh, boundary‑pushing series, while traditional sitcom viewers find the rapid format overwhelming; the show adds a bold, absurdist option to the UK/Australian TV landscape.
