ABC'S Trip For Biscuits outta the grade




Trip for Biscuits was made for ABC ME has been in at City Post for a colour grade with the amazing Deidre McClelland.

Trip for Biscuits is a fast-paced, serialised, 18 x 10 minute disaster-comedy that follows Bajo and his misfit crew as they try to carry out their bizarre missions. The team lack the life skills required to deal with everyday situations - let alone cope with the unusual and dangerous phenomena they are investigating. Consequently, most of their time is spent bickering and trying to deal with the growing set of problems they are doomed to perpetuate. These guys have turned 'out of control' into an art form - reminding us that when you mess with aliens, things can go horribly, horribly wrong.
