What happens

My Life in Film is a British television situation-comedy series written by Mark Chappell and originally aired on BBC Three. It was directed by first-time television director Toby MacDonald. It uses iconography, situations and dialogue from films. Some of the show's humour is derived from the deliberate adaptation of these films to everyday settings, leading to preposterous results. The series ran for one season of six episodes in 2004. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
