About
Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.
Life's questions are 'answered' in a series of outrageous vignettes, beginning with a staid London insurance company which transforms before our eyes into a pirate ship. Then there's the National Health doctors who try to claim a healthy liver from a still-living donor. The world's most voracious glutton brings the art of vomiting to new heights before his spectacular demise.
Absurdist energy explodes through a rapid-fire succession of sketches that trade logic for pure, unadulterated chaos. Expect everything from pirate-infested insurance offices to the stomach-churning excess of a legendary glutton.
