Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go

Episode 1 of 6

Ben is in a coma. While his family wonder how to wake him up, his mind is busy elsewhere. Stars Neil Pearson. From July 2006.

Ben doesn't get out much, but he has a loving and attentive family, an active imagination and a comfortable bed, so he can't complain.

Because he's in a coma, Mary and Mum wonder whether some of his favourite music will wake him up.

Meanwhile Ben's own thoughts are occupied with visions of Sue Lawley, Robbie Williams - and an unconventional seduction technique.

Starring Neil Pearson.

Nigel Smith's dark sitcom about a man in a coma, travelling through the distinctly odd landscape of his own unconscious mind.
