NEW BRITISH COMEDY-DRAMA
CASTING NOW

"The cars can be fixed. The people? That's a different story"
At a busy London garage, the cars aren't the only things with faults.
FAULTS INCLUDED is a new character-driven British comedy-drama created and written by comedian and performer Christopher Savage, developed in collaboration with Daniel Alexander Films.
Set inside a working garage, the series follows a close-knit crew of mechanics who spend their days fixing other people's problems, despite being spectacularly ill-equipped to deal with their own.
Between difficult customers, complicated relationships, bruised egos and questionable decisions, there's rarely a straightforward day on the workshop floor.
Warm, contemporary and unmistakably British, FAULTS INCLUDED blends workplace comedy with the messy realities of everyday life.
Beneath the banter and chaos is a story about friendship, community and the imperfect people we come to rely on.
The cars can be fixed. The people? That's a different story.
Several roles are already attached, and we are now casting five additional roles for the independently produced pilot.
Cast Terms: Expenses-only independent pilot. Agreed travel expenses will be covered and meals provided during filming.
Application Deadline: Sunday 25th October 2026 at 12pm
