What does it take to get your ideas onto our TV screens? Do TV audiences reward creative risk taking? Is there an appetite for political satire, surreal comedy, and programs with a distinctive character?

Always diverse, occasionally devilish, the one thing you can always expect from Unexpected Passions is an evening of laid-back laughs, with wizard of wit Sam Pang at helm. Who’s next? Well… it’s funny you should ask. In this edition, we welcome an unexpected host in Sam’s place – television’s Adam Zwar. Joining Adam are comedian Dave O'Neil, waxing lyrical about the music of the 1980s, and actor Kick Gurry on gambling.
In Written for the Telly, two television writers − Adam Zwar (Lowdown, Wilfred) and Robyn Butler (The Librarians, Very Small Business) − discuss the commonalities and differences between their creative lives as lived out on the idiot box. The pair cover topics such as inspiration, comedic partnerships and collaborations, the power of characters and settings and the screenwriter’s blessing and curse: notes.
Explore the idioms of the idiot box with host Adam Zwar and guests including The Katering Show’s Kate McCartney and Two Refugees and a Blonde’s Osamah Sami. Comedy on screen – like the rest of TV – has been split across a wide variety of creative and commercial contexts. The contemporary humorist can be found anywhere between webisodes and episodes, sitcoms and skitcoms, sketches and stand-up videos – or in writers’ rooms and editing suites. Couch potato comedy fans have never had it better. With the door wide open to DIY filmmakers – and a now-familiar path from YouTube to network TV (or online video giants like Netflix) – we investigate what distinguishes online comedy from its more mature ancestors. What are the rules, who’s in control and how are stars – and cash – made?
