'Barry Branch… comedian, actor, unstoppable force… is going to be huge.

'It’s in all the trades, on every botoxed lip, over every studio exec’s Blackberry. After so many years of working his more than ample arse off, Barry is finally on the cusp of his big break. The acting break that could make him a movie star and idol of millions.

'But there’s a not-so-small problem ...

'Barry gets a call in the middle of his daily work-out. His agent breaks the bad news. The producers are worried. They’ve reconceptualised the role he auditioned for and Barry isn’t quite right anymore. But there’s a solution staring them in the face ... if only Barry will get onboard.

'The solution itself is easy. Barry almost has to do nothing. Less than nothing, in fact. And all it will cost him is a decade of sleepless nights and an early death.

'But if you want to be larger-than-life in this town, immortality comes at a price.

'HUGE is a death-black satire of the movie business and the disturbing lengths some people will go to make it big. Part-horror, part-black comedy, HUGE occupies a shadowy corner of Hollyweird where Chuck Palahniuk meets Tales from The Crypt.'

'Sharks in a supermarket! In a sleepy coastal resort community, shoppers at an underground supermarket find themselves terrorised by a crazed killer when the unimaginable occurs - a freak tsunami swallows the town. But the tidal wave has also delivered some unwanted visitors from the depths, and as the waters rise they must overcome not only the threat of drowning and the human menace within their midst - but a pack of hungry sharks.'

David Caesar et. al. )agent Australia United Kingdom (UK) : Network Ten Disney XD , 2009-2010 Z1622411 2009-2010 series - publisher film/TV children's science fiction

This British/Australian co-production comedy/adventure series spins off the character of the robotic dog K9 from the British television series Doctor Who. Because the programme is not a BBC production, it cannot make direct references to Doctor Who. Similarly, K9 was radically redesigned for this show, because although Bob Baker (creator of K9 and co-creator of the original character) owns the character rights to K9, the BBC owns the rights to the original character design.

The concept for K9 was developed by Australian writers Shane Krause and Shayne Armstrong, who also serve as primary writers for the programme. Other Australian writers involved in the show include Queensland-based writer Jim Noble and comedian Ian McFadyen.

The programme is filmed and produced in Brisbane, Australia, but set in near-future London.

'Two young friends who were sexually abused as children are given the chance to avenge the crime when they witness something sinister in the woods.

Unfortunately they underestimate the killer and his potential prey and the boys are in way over their heads.'
