Jobless
Sixteen-year-old twins Tai and Kenny are desperate to make their mark on the world. That’s hard when you live with your parents, and even harder when you live in Milton Keynes...
Jobless is a sitcom all about the Adenugas, a middle-class British Nigerian family in Milton Keynes, in particular 16-year-old twin brother and sister Kehinde and Taiwo. Kenny is the family joker, who dreams of fame and fortune; sister Tai is, by contrast, sarcastic, super-smart and anxious to prove it. The twins live at home with their parents. Their mum, Bunmi, (chatty, energetic, control-freak tendencies, has a very stern side) runs Bunmi’s Beauty Salon, and despairs at her hapless offspring and their schemes to hit the big time.
Tai and Kenny are desperate to make money by any means necessary – not only is financial independence very alluring, but the pressure they face from Bunmi doesn’t help. The twins’ different personalities inform their different approaches, however it seems neither of those personalities are quite compatible with the world of work.
