The Coaching Team
Some of our crack coaching characters
Heinz is the head coach and is definitely not in charge of this team of misfits.
Ivana is the marital counsellor who specializes in sexual relations.
Su-Ling is the mindfulness coach with a potty mouth and a violent streak.
Guy is the PTSD coach, an ex-cavalry officer who suffers from a few traumas of his own.
Miss Blanche is a coaching client who relies on the kindness of strangers.
Karla is the geek-girl intern/receptionist who is also an inventor.
Writing and Editing Credits
Coaches is written, produced and directed by Stewart McKie. Stewart was daft enough to spend 6 years getting a PhD in screenplay analytics at age 57. He has written other scripts that have not yet had the light shone on their darkness.
Coaches is edited by Lamprini Petrianou (Lina) - from Lesbos Greece. Lina has just completed the MA Editing course at Bournemouth University and she also edited Loki, another of Stewart's scripts about a rogue Alexa-type device that turns to blackmail.
Series Introduction
Coaches is a pilot for a sitcom series
with each episode anchored by a specific intervention
by the Coaches.
Storyworld
The coaches are hired to make a positive impact by intervening in businesses or with individuals. Most of the action takes place in the coaches boardroom and reception office with cutaways to supporting scene locations.
Cast: The Coaching Team
There are four coaches, an intern receptionist and a coaching client who is used for testing the coaches techniques. Each episode reviews a specific coaching intervention.
Humour
Coaches features adult humour of a sexual nature with some profanity. If it was on TV it would be a post-watershed show. There is no violence or nudity in a typical episode.
Homages
A typical Coaches episode features a number of 'homages' to the movies and TV shows of the past 50 years. The idea is that this will be attractive to a particular fanbase who are interested in movie/TV trivia.
A Couple of Twists
Kermode and Karla's X-Ray Specs add some twists to each episode
Kermode is a basic humidifier that has been modified by Karla and programmed to listen and learn from the coaches conversations. Kermode has been trained on a corpus of 1970's movies so it excels in matching the current context to an appropriate movie quote.
Karla's X-Ray specs have a special power - they can view the past and the future - which allows us to see some stuff the coaches would probably wish we could not see.
