Hello and welcome to The Big Pitch with Jimmy Carr! Our guest this week is Asim Chaudhry, and Asim’s subgenre is… Opposites Attract.

Michelle Wolf Pitches a Live-Action Romance with Talking Animals!
Our guest this week is Michelle Wolf! And Michelle’s subgenre is… Coming Of Age Animal Tales.

Chris McCausland Pitches a Revenge Thriller with a Blind Assassin and a Talking Dog!
Jimmy's guest this week is Chris McCausland! And the subgenre he's working with is … One Person Army.
One of our most chaotic episodes yet, Chris pitches an idea that is absolutely nothing like John Wick (nothing at all like it so stop even thinking that). He casts himself as the main character, there’s a magic dog talking beyond the grave, he repeatedly pitches a tagline that Jimmy hates and yet somehow, there might be not one but two great film ideas in there.
Where does Nick Mohammed’s mind go when asked to make an ‘Everybody’s Home For The Holidays’ film? What’s the narrative arc for Romesh Ranganathan’s ‘BRB Crying’ tearjerker?

Inside a recent episode
Jamali Maddix Wants To Go Up Against Big Hummus
Published 1 Oct 2025 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Because, yeah, I think, I think it's sort of the idea that I was trying to say, I probably I explained it badly is, anything on the extremes were both sides of the same coin. That's why the, any extremes of anything is ridiculous.
