A Conversation With Rob Illidge (Writer)

In the latest episode, Marcus is joined in conversation by writer, Rob Illidge.

Rob is a comedy writer from Manchester in England. His latest project "FIFTY" is set to be filmed later on this year.

"FIFTY" is a pilot for a TV series set in the US. "FIFTY" features Franklin - a catastrophically naive British student who, after an unintentional viral scandal makes him a town outcast, soul searches across America, where unexpected friendships and comical misadventures await.

During this conversation Marcus and Rob discuss Rob's influences, how his time studying in America has inspired much of his work (including "FIFTY") and what it takes to turn a script into something tangible.

This episode was recorded in Manchester early in July 2025.
