S3Ep6: The End

Featured

Posted on August 19, 2014 by Lee

Could this be the end of the 4am Creative Advertising Bureau?

Ian and our merry band of creatives have been called to the Chairman’s office, this can’t be good? Will the plug be pullled? Will they all be made to re-apply for their jobs? Will the coffee machine ever get fixed? All may be revealed in this thrilling finale to series 3. Or something.

Elsewhere, Lennard and Darby are trying to diffuse the situation, Helen and Ian are struggling with information overload and Derek takes an unappreciated call. Meanwhile, poor Tim can’t seem to get the wording right and Live Tweeting takes on a whole new level.

Don’t miss the final episode of 4am CAB… or you’ll have to buy the Boxset. The end is Nigh, or is that near?

S3Ep5: The Future?

Posted on August 12, 2014 by Lee

Things are changing at the 4am Creative Advertising Bureau.

Fleur is wide awake in the small hours and making cupcakes when she learns her future is uncertain. Ian attempts some firefighting but it might be too late. Does this mean that Brett will have to fall back on being a Doctor? Well, at least there are baked goods.

Meanwhile in the future, Chris is getting lost, Dez & Charlie are finishing each other’s sentences, Sharkov and Chang may (or may not) have developed the greatest achievement of mankind and Steven Frost has woken from a very long sleep and is feeling a bit woozy.

Roll up, roll up get your fags and tech products here. It’s time to go back to the generic MP3 device for the penultimate episode of Series 3 (not including the Christmas Special – if we decide to do one.)

Oooh, would you close that door, there’s a terrible stink coming in!?

S3Ep4: Classy

Posted on August 5, 2014 by Lee

The 4am Creative Advertising Bureau have a new assignment.

The Japanese want to take an English delicacy and rebrand it. Fleur and Martin are ready to take on the considerable challenge but Brett has been listening to chinese whispers. This could all go to pot if they’re not careful.

Rupert and Beryl are breaking up whereas Mr Darcy is about to the pop the question and our roving reporter ventures oop north. Debbie, meanwhile, is finding James a bit hard to swallow.

4am CAB puts on it’s airs and graces before embarrassing itself by using the wrong fork. It’s time for the fourth episode of Series 3 – what oh!

Watch out for the Angry priest!

S3Ep3: Work It Out

Posted on July 29, 2014 by Lee

It’s very quiet at the 4am Creative Advertising Bureau today.

Cheryl calls in a favour from Martin who takes his new responsibilities very seriously. With great power comes a great deal of arsing around, especially when the coffee machine is still knackered. Meanwhile, Brett has lost his passport, Fleur has lost the plot and Ian has lost the thing he finds most precious. Oh and what do you think of when you hear Turkey Timeshare?

We have an extremely limited range of actors for hire, we eavesdrop on a couple of unconventional interviews and all the while James is struggling to pick up his daily perk me up. Also, if they can get their act together, The Mob might just have the answer to all their problems.

4am CAB dusts off it’s best suit and joins the sweaty commute for the third episode of Series 3

Oh, and watch out for Nigel.

S3Ep2: Puppy Love

Posted on July 22, 2014 by Lee

Another day dawns on the 4am Creative Advertising Bureau.

New kid on the block, Martin, is very excited. Today he joins the 4am CAB team – not that he’s getting paid though, much to his mothers annoyance. It’s a dog eat dog food world out there.

We unleash the trailer for the next big summer blockbuster, Tim has a date but is struggling to tell the time and Gav ‘n’ Trixie are bashing their heads together and seeing stars. There are a pair of hot blooded slugs, the eternal search for the potato peeler and we get lovey-dovey in the poetry club.

We get crazy in love for the second episode of Series 3 – maybe you should buy your man some flowers?

S3Ep1: Creatively Speaking

Posted on July 15, 2014 by Lee

Welcome to the 4am Creative Advertising Bureau. Brett is enduring a self-inflicted mid-twenties crisis, Cheryl is having a bakery emergency, Fleur just wants the coffee machine to work and all the while Ian is living in his own little world. The 4am CAB is open for business, just.

Meanwhile, there’s a wardrobe malfunction of epic proportions, the local constabulary is piloting a new identity concept, and there’s nothing but repeats on the radio.

4amCAB returns, just like it’s never been away.

Series 3 Tease

Posted on July 1, 2014 by Lee

4am CAB returns on the 15th July 2014 with Series 3.

Ian has commissioned an advert to tell you all about the 4am Creative Advertising Bureau, or 4am CAB as it’s know in the industry. The Voice Over guy has an attitude but thankfully there’s a spare hanging around. Ian thinks it’s a good idea to be in the advert himself.

We’re gearing up for the new series, what could go wrong?!

Episode 1 is almost here.

Recording begins

Posted on June 4, 2014 by Lee

Last night, after a lot of time spent in front of the blinking cursor of doom, we finally made it into the studio. I say studio, it was Anna’s front room – thanks Anna!

Lee and Ian (not to be confused with Ironman)

This is the perfect opportunity to introduce you to the two newest members of The 4amcab Company: Ian and CJ.

When the first episode is released you may recognise Ian’s voice from a previous episode. Ian was the main storyline character in S1Ep4 – Hainault?, playing a very tired Martin, who falls asleep on a night bus to Hainault and ends up robbing a petrol station. Ian has ventured north, out of London, to join us for the whole of Series 3.

CJ and Ian look on, as Lee pretends to do some acting

CJ is the other new member to join the merry band of 4amcab actors. CJ has worked extensively in theatre, both behind the scenes and on the stage. The first thing I asked her to do was speak in a Dutch accent and pretend to be on a porn shoot – as she didn’t run away, I think she’ll fit right in!

More details will be published soon on The 4amcab Company page.

So the first session is done, with more on the way. Now the mamoth task of editing almost 4 hours of intensive 4amcab goodness begins. We are very much on our way to Series 3. Exciting, eh?
