u2roolz Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Ok, so this isn't listed on IMDB yet. I read via youtube that this is from the pilot which may have been the only episode aired?I'm guessing this could be on BBC America? It's on Channel 4 over in the UK.Here's the synopsis: US comedian David Cross plays Todd Margaret, a hapless office drone who flukes his way into a top management job heading up the British division of a US multinational. All he has to do is sell a dozen container loads of dodgy Korean energy drinks before his psychotic boss, played by Will Arnett, visits in a week's time. It doesn't help that he knows nothing about the UK or selling things. What's more, he only has one very unhelpful employee, played by Russell Tovey, to assist him. Needless to say, it doesn't go well and Todd's spectacular failure to impress beautiful café owner Alice, played by Sharon Horgan, only makes things worse. http://www.channel4.com/programmes/comedy-showcase/episode-guide/series-9/episode-1 I'm almost positive that this isn't the HBO pilot that Cross did with Odenkirk a few years ago that never got off the ground. Also, a very famous director has an awesome cameo in the clip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MattZ Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 wow, that was great! thanks for posting.My only concern would be that Arnet = dick and Cross = wimp might get old after awhile. I am sucker for both of those guys though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Yeah, unless there's some development to the characters or some guy who can foil both, the show has the danger of collapsing on itself. That being said, any time ex-Arrested Development folks get together is a great time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
