If I was king; Jamie a Young professional in his mid 20's has a good job in an office that are looking internally for a new manager. The position is the talk of the office with Jamie rumored to be one of the front runners as well as Stef a mid 20's posh ex public school boy living off mummy and daddy's fortune. Jaime never misses an opportunity to wind up the the posh gulable twit. Jamie has an eye for Sophie who is in her mid 20's a sweet, caring "girl next door" The feeling is mutual as they spend a lot of time flirting. Jamie is faced with a predicament when he is called into the manager Victoria's office she is a hard ice queen no nonsense business woman in her late 30's early 40's. She blackmails Jaime by telling him all he needs to do to get the job is sleep with her. Jamie is in two minds. Should he sleep with Victoria and get the job would he ever forgive himself for letting his morals slip and risk messing things up with Sophie if she ever found out. Jamie confides in his best friend Gary a working class builder in his late 20's Gary is loud and obnoxious and full of crud jokes and is always giving Jamie bad advice.
As my original idea for this project was very much character based I decided that it would be a great idea to give all the characters completely different back grounds from all walks of life.
Jamie; the main character, the protaganist. He is a from a middle class background, good looking stylish man in his mid 20's. He has a good job and is ambitious with a good heart, he is always trying to do the right thing by people and has good high morals.
Sophie; is a kind, sweet, pretty girl in her mid 20's. She is seen as the office sweetheart and has a real thing for Jamie.She is very ambitious and so when the chance for a promotion comes up she is very excited but when she realises she will be up against Steff and Jamie she becomes disheartened and begins to dowt herself.
Steff; is a posh, ex public school boy. A colleague of Jamie's who is also in his mid 20's. He is very annoying but totally harmless and very loveable.
Gary; is Jaime's best friend and is always there to dish out advice. He is a crude working class builder in his late 20's. Even though he is very smutty he is a loveable character and is very funny. He lives at home with his wife Jackie in their family home.
Victoria; is Jamie's boss. She is a smart attractive, hard working executive women in her late 30's. She is very powerful and vindictive like an ice queen.
I have asked Hennie Clough and Casey Parker to come on as producers. As well as the writer I am still undersided as to what other role to take.
I have also written an original score for the pilot with my friend Glenn
