Two losers fake a robbery on CCTV to save their jobs. What could go wrong? Everything.
Surreal sitcom set in an all-night garage, where two misfits on the nightshift live out their whims and fantasies. Peter has a brilliant idea - he will become a film star and leave the garage far behind. He moves the CCTV cameras and records his acting showreel, but when Nigel is robbed of the night's takings, the crime goes unrecorded. With no evidence of a hold-up, Nigel and Peter realise they must fake the CCTV tapes and re-enact the robbery, or lose their jobs.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director George Milton and star Dan Antopolski co-created this after meeting on the UK comedy circuit; the garage was a real working petrol station they filmed in overnight between shifts.
The fake CCTV re-enactment blurs who's watching whom — by the end, even we can't tell performance from 'reality,' which might be the whole point about dead-end jobs eating your identity.
