Diplomatic Immunity

13 x 1/2hr comedy series (2008)
TV2, New Zealand
Synopsis

A comedy series about a fallen diplomatic Foreign Affairs high-flier who ends up baby-sitting the morally bankrupt (but for a good cause) staff of the embassy of The Most Royal Kingdom of Fe’ausi. 

 

His attempts to teach them right from wrong are more than countered by their attempts to get him to remove the stick from his butt and see the world in a more ‘relaxed’ fashion.

 

Diplomatic Immunity a big, bold, brassy, sexy, politically incorrect comedy series about love and manipulation; about the battle of two men – father and suitor – for the heart and soul of one very smart young woman.

 

Created by James Griffin (Outrageous Fortune, Serial Killers) and produced by South Pacific Pictures, Diplomatic Immunity is a 13 x ½ hour comedy series and will go into pre-production in February 2008 with production set to run from March to May 2008.

 

Scriptwriters include: James Griffin, Dave Armstrong, Joss King and Tim Balme.
