This could be heaven or this could be hell.

In this darkly comic exploration of what may happen at the moment of death, Charlie Creed-Miles plays a man coming to terms with the news that his bad behaviour on this mortal coil may not have resulted in the ideal berth in the afterlife. Explaining these developments to him is the surprisingly benign Mr Samuels, but it would be best not to underestimate him, he can be a bit of a devil.

Writer/director Rob Leggatt keeps the comedy level pegging with the drama, and, despite the obvious absurdity, you find yourself rooting for the rascally protagonist as he seeks to change his situation. He is nothing if not resourceful, and, in his own way, charming, so watch it to see if he can wrangle his way out of the trouble he's found himself in.
