Burying Brian

Episode 1
NZ: Wed, July 02, 2008 (One)
Written by Gavin Strawhan
Directed by Peter Burger

Jodie's life is turned upside down after she loudly drunkenly declares to her friends in a bar that she wishes her husband, Brian, would drop dead — and then returns home to find that her wish has been granted. In a panic, she realises that her husband's accidental death will now look anything but — so she enlists her friends' help to remove his body and bury it in an empty field, thus removing all evidence of his death. After concocting a story that Brian has run away with his mistress, Jodie initially thinks she's got away with the cover-up, but things soon start to unravel — beginning with the revelation that the field Brian is buried in is being dug up for housing redevelopment.'
