'Finger' is a hilarious show lampooning all genres of cooking shows, self aggrandising "Celebrity" chefs and all manner of "Reality" TV .

The "Producer" is the villain, sacrificing truth, decency and his own make up in the pursuit of TV ratings. Clifford is discovering the truth of TV politics: when the ratings slide your resources start to dwindle and he knows his days as a star are numbered. He is prepared to do anything to preserve his position.

Jessie and Samantha, struggling cafe owners of the Finger in the Dyke reach out to Clifford and his failing TV show in an attempt to save their business dreams. Will Sam's exotic sense of taste and cuisine combinations prove too much for Jessies affections and financial acumen?

Now watch and keep on laughing!

Cast in order of appearance;

  • Natalie Ryan-Brand as Jessie
  • Jessica Hegarty as Sam
  • Jeffrey Watkins as Clifford
  • Ryan McNally as The Producer
  • James Pentecost as The Announcer
