It started as a stand-up show to occasionally 'baffled' audiences.
Brian and Charles, a feature length movie from Film Four, has already enjoyed success in America, as well as at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year where it scooped the 'Audience Favourite Award'.
Depressed and alone Brian does what any talented inventor would do and creates his own companion – the robot Charles, played by Chris. Chris, who returned to live in Shrewsbury just before the pandemic, said:"We used to do it as a live show. It was a live stand- up show with me and David and our producer Rupert, he was operating the voice of Charles – it was a robot voice at that point. We were doing it in London, we performed it at the Machynlleth Comedy Festival.
But he has also suffered the frustration of all TV writers, seeing projects cancelled – working on a sci-fi drama which was dropped after four years in development."There were several times I did not think it would happen. Even when they first commissioned the script I did not think it would get made," he said.
The film was actually shot in Snowdonia after the first lockdown had lifted in Wales – but work was only finished one day before the country introduced its 'fire-break' lockdown.He said:"We were shooting in November in North Wales and the weather was pretty grim, and again because of Covid there was this slight anxiety hanging over the production – we could be shut down at any time if someone got ill – there was that anxiety of 'can we finish on time?'.
