GLOVE PUPPETS -- BY DAN COGAN & KIERAN MCKENNA
Comedy, 6 Episodes, Loose Continuity

Probation Officer - Jonny's moral guide
Ben - serious young man
Worby - layabout
Kate - Worby's girlfriend
The Government is running an 'early release' lottery scheme to reduce prison overcrowding - and Jonny's numbers have come up! He's only served seven days of a two year sentence, but the lotto balls are Judge and Jury. Jonny is released and teamed with a round-the-clock Probation Officer, who's anxious to get positive results. But after a pool trick shot in a pub goes spectacularly wrong, Jonny is reunited with two friends from his past: Ben - former champion athlete, now working in insurance, and Worby - a part time musician and bum. Together again, they seem concerned with only one thing, greasing the wheels of their impending doom. There are plenty of opportunities to win out over the odds but these guys have a Midas Touch for a wrong decision...
Very funny, want to see it all.
