THE BYSTANDERS

Pete Weir (Scott Haran) – an inconspicuous office drone – is recruited precisely for his anonymity to become a Bystander, a kind of empowered guardian angel tasked with watching over, and invisibly helping, a 'Subject'. Pete is trained by jaded Bystander Frank (Seann Walsh), who out of boredom proposes that they swap Subjects. Frank now has Sarah (Georgia Mabel Clarke), and Pete has feckless loser Luke (Andi Jashy), whom he hopes to transform in order to win Bystander of the Year and make up for losing a chess contest decades earlier. Hilarious rivalry ensues, as misanthropic Frank, who can only see the world through ‘Frank-tinted glasses’, sets about undermining Pete's newfound success.
