Come Oily Bombs

Episode 1 of 4

A slight shortage of cooking oil leads conspiracy theorist Dave to conclude that his town is about to be destroyed by a dirty bomb. Written by and starring Dave Lamb. From May 2011.

Brand new sitcom about paranoid conspiracy theorist Dave Railings, written by and starring Radio 4 stalwart and cult Come Dine With Me voiceover star Dave Lamb.

Dave Railings lives with his younger brother Jim in a bog standard first floor flat which has been customised with more surveillance and security equipment than the pentagon. Dave kitted it out, Jim despises it and dreams of escaping.

In Episode One Jim casually mentions that he's been unable to buy any cooking oil. From this Dave manages to deduce that the town is under imminent threat from a dirty bomb attack. And when Jim also lets slip that he's going on a date with an Arabic woman called Hannan who he's only just met, Dave becomes convinced that he's in a desperate race against time to save the lives of everyone within a two hundred mile radius.

Fast-paced, laugh out loud, convoluted romp focussing on one man's over-reaction to the Climate of Fear...or is it an over-reaction?
