6. Mushrooms

Ruth and Carla decide to experiment with micro-dosing psilocybin.

As the mushrooms kick in there are revelations and home truths everywhere, and a new strategy for their online business emerges.

Ruth and Carla are two wannabe stars of the online business world.

They are bound together by a carefully controlled image that can lead to lucrative product placements and well-paid endorsements - but only if the PR is played just right.

And that’s a problem because, behind the scenes, things are not always as harmonious as they seem.

Written by and starring Katy Brand and Katherine Parkinson
