Runners
Writer: Neth Knowles
Co-producers: Marion Pilowsky and David Willing (WP Media)
Ben, Toby and Leif are best friends, always there to support each other no matter what happens. When Toby accidentally burns down his office, loses his job and finds his girlfriend cheating on him with a celebrity chef, the trio decide to cheer themselves up by going for a slap-up meal.
After noticing a shady character getting away without paying the bill, the lads decide to give it a try themselves… only to get a kicking from the restaurant staff! Tracking down the mysterious diner they convince him to teach them the subtle arts of bill-dodging. Joined by a waitress named Natalie (who lost her job thanks to the boys first escapade) and buoyed by the euphoria of some minor successes they decide to try it again… and again… and again! It isn’t long before the friends are inventing new and complex methods of evading the bill… and so the Runners club is born!
Whoever said there was no such thing as a free lunch, simply wasn’t trying hard enough.
