Pilot Episode (Dan Maier & Jim Bob)

PILOT: This is the 'Do The Right Thing' pilot episode recorded back in April 2011. It is so rough-and-ready that we forgot to introduce any of the teams - hence Producer Ben chips in at the start with a stultifyingly unfunny but mercilessly brief factual introduction. After that we get onto the serious business of plummeting lifts, punching piranhas and penis extensions. Alongside regulars Danielle Ward, Michael Legge and Margaret Cabourn-Smith, the pilot features comedy writer and performer Dan...
