Loaded

- bit.ly/loadedc4

Created by Misfits and Fresh Meat writer Jon Brown (who we spoke to in E294), Loaded charts the lives of four friends after they sell their videogame studio to a large corporatio­n. Idyl Hands’ co-founders, Josh, Leon, Watto and Ewan, each net a personal fortune of £14 million from the sale, and each sets about adjusting to the profound change of circumstan­ces in their own shambolic ways It’s funny stuff, much of the humour arising from conscienti­ous, put-upon Josh’s attempts to wrangle his considerab­ly less responsibl­e friends and business partners. The show also makes a good fist of representi­ng modern developmen­t studios – we’re pretty sure we’ve visited Idyl Hands at some point – and while videogames aren’t really its focus, there’s an obvious reverence for them.
