HAVE you ever had a bad job interview? Well, look no further
than brand new Liverpool based comedy mockumentary
"FORWARD SLASH/JOBS" as you may feel a
little better about yourself. "The series follows the work life of professional
interviewer Joseph Pecker (Murphy Rhodes)
in his average day on the job with each episode examining a different, and often exaggerated, stereotypical interviewee; from a girl
overcome with nerves to an intimidating possible ex-convict. We're also treated to the
forced relationship between the building's incompetent receptionist (Laura
Cotter), and the infuriatingly lovable cleaner. Producers Murphy Rhodes
and Jazz Jago decided it was important to utilise local cast and crew that were still looking to make a name for themselves,
and as a result, they believe there is an even higher level of passion on set and an
all consuming eagerness to show the series to the world. Taking inspiration from shows such as:- 'The Office UK' and
'Extras' - "FORWARD / SLASH / JOBS" fully embraces awkward British humour and
takes it 1 step further. 'I've always had a particular adoration for the
mockumentary style."' says writer
Murphy Rhodes,
adding:- "I felt it was
under explored, and so, that's what we did. We explored. I'm excited to see the reaction when it's released." You can
