"The eponymous Brian Jackson is a man that thinks the unthinkable and simply runs with it.
The Brian Jackson Show is a fresh and innovative new sitcom, that [is] exclusively available ONLINE.
A comedy aimed at those who secretly wish they could live life by their own set of rules, oblivious to the chaos around the corner.
Spread over six intricately structured episodes, writer and director Mark Marlow invites audiences to enter the world of Brian Jackson and his three housemates. Robin Donald is Brian's wing man, or put more accurately, his patsy. The house is owned by Tony, Robin's stepbrother, who has recently thrown a curve ball at the house dynamics; a woman. Cringe and cry with laughter as Robin, Tony, and his girlfriend Crystal are swept away by the whirlwind that is Brian Jackson. False Limbs; assisted suicide; dog knapping; and illegal pornography...taboo has lost all meaning."http://en-gb.facebook.com/group.php?gid=26804312049 The Brian Jackson Show Facebook Page

Reviews One reviewer described an episode as "29:58 of sheer joy to be watched repeatedly":Crowley, A. (2009); "'The Brian Jackson Show' or 'Why British Sitcoms are the Best!'"; Tilzy.tv; http://www.tilzy.tv/the-brian-jackson-show-or-why-british-sitcoms-are-the-best.htm. Of late, England has produced series after series of awkward yet intelligently goofy sitcoms that Hollywood inevitably cannibalizes. The web series The Brian Jackson Show is firmly of this tradition.
