'Set in and around thriving Littleton City Council, thrill as its staff and ratepayers navigate busking licence auditions, animal control officers convinced they are in the mob and Mayors with Game of Thrones-esque delusions of grandeur; while its municipal rooms-for-hire lure wildly inappropriate dance teachers, dubious self-improvement classes and harangued relationship counsellors.'

'Set in the world of tabloid journalism and celebrity gossip Lowdown is an eight-part comedy series that focuses on the life of a man whose job it is to feed the public's insatiable appetite for celebrity gossip; a man who'll risk life and limb to secure every scandalous scoop. Based loosely on the experiences of showbiz journalist and columnist (and series co-writer) Adam Zwar, each episode sees showbiz journalist Alex Burchill interview celebrities for his column - some willingly and others not so. Other characters include his friend and Sunday Sun photographer Bob Geraghty; his on-again-off-again girlfriend, Rita Heywood; his inept GP, Dr James; paranoid editor Howard Evans; the no nonsense publicist Hope van der Boom; and his broadsheet nemesis Dylan Hunt.'
