ROYLE’S
TV SERIES
 Top
Television Hypnotist & Psychic Entertainer Jonathan
Royle is both an experienced Television and Radio Presenter
and Performer and is always interested in becoming involved
in new broadcast projects.
In August 2001, Royle was approached by Chris Massey
and Gary Midmer of Mudlark Films Ltd who are based at
Bray Film Studios in Windsor – (England)
They commissioned him to devise a bizarre entertainment
show featuring his own Hypnotic, Psychic, Magical &
Comedy talents, after many months of preparation, filming
and editing the end result (now
available for sale) was:
LIFE IN THE BUS LANE!
In this his debut TV Series, Royle comes across, as
a strange schizophrenic type of performer, a sad, lonely,
wannabe desperate for Fame and Recognition and his personality
seems to change like the wind depending on what he is
doing at the time!
Shot mainly on the streets and in the trendy bars of
Amsterdam the show is a mix of street magic, psychic
feats, street hypnosis and comic pranks carried out
on an unsuspecting public by a hapless Jonathan Royle.
The programme concentrates not on the pranks, magic
effects or hypnosis, but rather on the images of shock,
embarrassment, astonishment and amusement of the general
public when the tricks, pranks and stunts are played
on them!
A VARIETY SHOW SITCOM
 Several
storylines and characters run through each programme,
namely ‘Gary the Drunk Businessman’, ‘Ron
the Magic Loving Junkie’ with his Stoned friends
and ‘Mesmerelda’ who is Jonathan’s
long lost sister (It’s actually Jonathan himself
in drag!) which actually turn the show into a bizarre
modern day variety show sitcom.
Royles catch phrase throughout the series is “LIFE
IN THE BUS LANE – HA HA!”
and as a running gag throughout the series sections
are linked by members of the public shouting out Royle’s
Catch Phrase in comical situations!
It could be said that in many ways, sections of this
Zany show are satirical send ups of such famous household
name performers as David Blaine, Paul McKenna &
Uri Geller amongst others and this is one of the unique
elements which we feel sure will make it a huge hit
with the public.
THIS SERIES WILL CAUSE A MEDIA
FRENZY
 We
feel that this is a production with universal viewing
appeal and no direct competition or similar formats
are, have been or ever will be in production by anyone
else as many sections of the shows contents are 100%
Copyrighted Performance Pieces with which Jonathan Royle
has established his reputation and for which he has
previously received widespread International Media Publicity!
This means that gaining widespread media exposure to
promote the broadcast of Royles “Life
In The Bus Lane” series will prove
ridiculously easy and as such you can be assured of
high ratings and viewing figures!
A BRIEF SYNOPSIS
To give you a clearer idea about the content of this
Bizarre, Unique and truly hilarious entertainment series
here are a few more details about what talents Royle
displays during the programmes in amongst the regular
storylines!
MAGIC
When it comes to his attempts at magic, Jonathan is
best described as Alan Partridge (Knowing Me Knowing
You) crossed with a modern day version of Tommy Cooper!
Often his tricks don’t work out as he planned
and quite often they don’t work at all! But then
when the viewers least expect it something truly amazing
happens to rival even the great David Blaine, and when
it does Jonathan seems just as delighted and amazed
as the public involved!
PSYCHIC
When performing Psychic Experiments Jonathan seems
to transform into a strange cross between Russell Grant
on Acid and Uri Geller on Speed! On the one hand its
hilarious to see peoples faces as he stops them in the
street and starts prodding their Navels for a bit of
“Belly Button Reading” or indeed abducting
their dog for a little Pawology (dogs paw reading),
on the other hand it is amazing how accurate his revelations
and predictions are!
HYPNOSIS
When demonstrating his own unique style of adults only
Hypnosis, Jonathan becomes a mischievous type of fellow
who seems to get some kind of perverse pleasure out
of his actions! Some of the routines truly are unique
and can only be broadcast post watershed.
COMEDY
On “Life In The Bus Lane” Jonathan presents
his comedy talents in such a manner that viewers will
think he is so embarrassingly bad, that in actual fact
they will find it hilarious. Again here we would compare
Royle to Alan Partridge mixed in with a bit of “Carry
On” humour.
REGULAR STORYLINES
Several storylines and characters run through each
programme, namely ‘Gary the Drunk Businessman’,
‘Ron the Magic Loving Junkie’ with his Stoned
friends and ‘Mesmerelda’ who is Jonathan’s
long lost sister (It’s actually Jonathan himself
in drag!) which actually turn the show into a bizarre
modern day variety show sitcom. These characters end
up in bizarre situations and become involved with each
other in a comical manner throughout the series.
PUT IT ALL TOGETHER AND YOU’VE
GOT
“LIFE IN THE BUS LANE!”
 All
of the footage has now been shot and a rough-cut off
line edit is now available for viewing by interested
broadcasters and distribution companies.
Mudlark Films are now looking to sell the entire world-wide
broadcast and distribution rights relating to this project,
which is almost completed with the exception of the
on-lining process.
Adam Wakeman has exclusively written the music used
in these shows and the format was devised between Jonathan
Royle himself and director Richard Van Den Bergh!
The production was a multi camera, professional shoot
and no words on paper could ever do justice to the end
product, which we are very proud of!
FIRST COME FIRST SERVED
We have enough footage for six thirty minute duration
programmes and around another 50 hours of unused footage
on Digi Beta tapes, which although not used (as yet)
within the series, much of it is broadcast quality footage
and could perhaps be used by the purchaser to make a
one off one hour special to help launch the six part
series?
Indeed the purchaser could, using the footage we have
available, change the format of the shows entirely if
they so wished, this is something we would be happy
to discuss with seriously interested parties.
We are therefore looking for a company to either purchase
the worldwide rights entirely off us or a working partner
who has direct links with companies that may wish to
purchase this amazing and hilarious series!
YOU NEED TO SEE AN EPISODE!
As we say, no words on paper could ever explain or
do justice to this production and I would strongly recommend
that you contact Royles Executive Producer Chris Massey
today and arrange a meeting at which time you can view
a rough-cut episode of this show, leaving you in no
doubt that this is a project that you do want to get
involved with right now!
ALL YOURS FOR LESS THAN £200K!
Considering the potential to sell this series all over
the world, we are sure you will agree that this represents
the bargain of a lifetime and the chance for you to
make a massive profit, when you consider that we are
prepared to sell you for a one time fee the world distribution
and broadcast rights to this series, along with the
additional 50 hours of Digi Beta footage we have, on
a basis whereby no additional payments or repeat fees
are ever due to us and whereby your investment ends
right here for the best offer over £150K Thousand
Pounds UK Sterling!
YOUR CHANCE TO MAKE SOME CASH!
 If
you are seriously in a strong position to help us successfully
sell the rights and footage to “Life
In The Bus Lane” then the deal
we are offering you is quite simple really.
Help us successfully secure £150K Thousand for
the world rights as detailed earlier and the moment
we receive payment from the purchaser we’ll pay
you a commission of £10,000 UK Sterling!
Help us sell the entire series and world rights for
more than £150K and we’ll split the amount
you raise over £140K with you 50% each. So for
example if you got us £180K, the amount over £140K
is £40K, we’d split this down the middle
and that means you’d get £20K UK Sterling
for helping us.
In otherwords the better & higher the successful
selling price the bigger your commission payment will
be, subject to our standard terms of business.
