VERY SMALL BUSINESS

Trailer

This series explores the unlikely relationship between two characters - a pairing of dodginess and integrity, set against the backdrop of good old Australian enterprise. Don Angel (Wayne Hope, Stupid Stupid Man) is a small businessman - the backbone of this great country's great economy. But after numerous unsuccessful business ventures, Don's one-man publishing empire called Worldwide Business Group is hurtling towards liquidation - his debts are mounting, his stomach's killing him, his wife has left him and he's just hired Ray Leonard (Kim Gyngell, Top of the Lake) as his journalist. Taking his first tentative steps back into the workplace after a six-year battle with depression, Ray enters a world totally alien to him. He's come from being a noted feature writer for The Australian to writing advertorial for "Wilson's Woodwind and Brass Autumn Sale," which might just be his cure. It's a marriage made in heaven - at least until the Tax Office gets there. (6 EPS, 2008)
