Who: Mark and Jay Duplass.

What: An anthology series with every episode set inside the same room of the same American hotel, exploring the varied characters who stay there.

Why: It sounds a lot like BBC show Inside No. 9, which is no bad thing. The idea of various stories being told from one room makes for an intruging propositon, and the Duplass brothers have long since proven their ability to mix comedy and drama to great effect. The pair have suggested the room will have some mystical qualities too, which adds to the storytelling potential.

Where & When: HBO, TBA

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
