Kismet Diner.
Sometimes you have to listen with your heart... One Saturday night, midway through an impromptu concert, Laura notices a customer she hasn't seen before with a look of complete disinterest on his face. She wouldn't usually mind, but with this guy, it's as though she wasn't even there. Who is he? And why can't Laura stop looking at him?
Fifteen Storeys High.
Mark’s work with Sean Lock on the critically lauded BBC comedy series, co-starring Benedict Wong, led to a BAFTA nomination for his direction. 2 Series of 6 Episodes.
“15 Storeys High is difficult to describe, because its unlike any other comedy. The last comedy I can remember that arrived with such a perfect, idiosyncratic and fully formed comic world of its own was Father Ted. It’s that good. I want you to watch it so much it hurts.”
— Armando Iannucci
“15 Storeys high is a truly beautiful thing.”
— Joe Lycett
“15 Storeys High is a work of pure genius, I cannot recommend it highly enough.”
— Telegraph
“ Not only was 15 Storeys High – a sitcom about a grumpy misanthrope in a tower block – the best ever BBC Three show. It’s simultaneously very quiet and uproariously funny. People sorely deserve to have 15 Storeys High in their lives.”
— Stuart Heritage, Guardian
