The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret
(Channel 4 Comedy Showcase pilot)
“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.”
Written by David Cross and excellent UK comedy writer Shaun Pye (you’ve probably seen him in Extras as twatty Greg) - and Spike Jonze is in the supporting cast. Woah. can it possibly live up to that kind of promise?
