THE SERIES
LEAD CHARACTER
Luke Bentham is a rising football star about to sign a highly coveted Premier League football and merchandising contract.
Luke is a graduate whose intelligence and charm are sometimes a foil for his brooding and contemplative nature.
His devoted father, a successful executive, has supported him all the way in his training. Now, his father has formed him into a limited company and sold shares to ten friends.
His longtime girlfriend believes their dream life is about to begin.... but Luke's life is complex and has many dimensions. Some facets of his life might destroy, not only his relationship, but his entire career.
NOT THE BEAUTIFUL GAME portrays the human drama of people involved in Premier League football.
The players, managers, lawyers, club owners, fashion houses, sponsors, and broadcasters may be part of the sports world, but they are engaged in an intensely competitive and often ruthless business.
Interwoven into this, are the triumphs and dangers facing a young and fast rising Premier League footballer - who is suppressing part of his personality which could destroy his promising career as well as a multi million pound merchandising contract.
NOT THE BEAUTIFUL GAME is a 60 minute weekly dramatic series created and produced in the UK. The show provides unique and original quality weekly viewing to capitalize on the viewing public's desire for high end scripted drama.
Television is reveling in a new golden age of scripted programming. Dramas like The Night Manager, Game of Thrones, Breading Bad and House of Cards are “unmissable”.
The hit shows win over their audience in stages.
First, they screen to a small, dedicated fan-base of subscribers who have paid for access to the production through cable channels such as Home Box Office (HBO) or streaming internet services such as Netflix.
That generates excitement on social media, so that when the DVD box-set is released, millions are ready to binge-watch, consuming a dozen episodes over a couple of nights.
Add that experience to downloads to mobile devices of “bite size” episodes of, say, 5 minutes each, as well as game applications, and one can see the expanse of revenue streams.
Finally, the series is syndicated to TV channels worldwide. The result is a multi stream wave of income.
NOT THE BEAUTIFUL GAME is designed for the multi platform world television marketplace and will be cast and shot with this in mind.
