Hello, my name is James and I'm an alcoholic - T.V Pilot (Rewrite)
When James, a down-and-out alcoholic still living with his fed-up parents, meets Vicky — a fellow lost soul with a dubious charm — at the job centre, their unlikely romance sends them from his parents’ couch to life in a tent. But as James clings to love as his last shot at redemption, he discovers that Vicky’s secrets may be even darker than his own.
That changes when he meets Vicky at the job centre while begging for a crisis loan. Vicky is rough around the edges, unfiltered, and — like James — not exactly fresh. Yet there’s a spark. For the first time in years, James feels seen. They bond over shared failures, cigarettes, and a mutual disdain for authority. Within weeks, they decide to escape the judgmental world and move into a tent on the edge of town — their own version of freedom.
But as the novelty fades, cracks begin to show. Vicky’s chaotic energy turns volatile, her stories don’t add up, and her temper reveals a darkness James hadn’t seen before. When money starts disappearing and strange people come looking for her, James begins to realize that his shot at love might drag him into something far worse than loneliness.
The pilot ends with James standing outside the tent in the rain, bottle in hand, questioning whether he’s found love — or just another addiction.
Tone: A darkly comedic, gritty drama about love, co-dependence, and the delusions we cling to when we’ve hit rock bottom.
Would you like me to write it in a specific style (e.g., BBC dramedy, American indie tone, gritty realism like "Shameless", etc.)? That could help refine the voice and pacing.
