48 min Episode 1 of 10
BIN JUICE is a fresh take on the traditional British sitcom, but make it ‘Millennial’ and for your ears... In the first of its kind ‘scripted audio comedy/drama podcast mash-up... we follow the lives of four unlikely friends from different walks of life across the UK, attempting to navigate early adulthood together.
BJ: A middle class ‘mess’ navigating the dating scene for the first time and slowly realising that a degree in ‘fine art’ probably isn’t going to get her all that far in the real world.
GABRIEL: First generation immigrant originally from India, working as a nurse for the NHS. In a long-term monogamous relationship with his childhood sweetheart, Cameron.
RACHEL: Half Irish, half African corporate queen with a sassy spiritual side… Trying to navigate her sexual orientation while burying the multi generational trauma of growing up in the troubles.
JACK: Working class northerner, a literal ‘jack-the-lad’. He’s the guy you warn all your female friends about, but really he’s just a trundling mess of insecurities, rejection and undiagnosed mental health issues.
Every week, one housemate at 37 Bellenden Road takes the bins out, only to find an item amongst the rubbish which sparks the story for that particular episode… from a mouldy chicken carcass to a giant pink dildo, they give us the ‘juice’ of the week through recollecting the chaos, carnage and often cripplingly cringey events of the week.
Think ‘Fleabag’ meets ‘The Archers’ with a dabble of ‘Fresh Meat’ sprinkled over for good measure.
This is the pilot episode from what is designed to be a 10-part series.
