I have been very busy lately, because I moved to London (England, UK) today. Therefore, I was looking for a web series that takes place in London and found Chugger - A London Webseries.
The Urban Dictionary describes a "chugger" as a paid "charity" street worker (read: student) who has been trained to believe that they are carrying out a worthy task, improving peoples' lives by conning Joe Public out of their money for this week's Good Cause. The web series Chugger is about failure, success, London, music, romance and chugging. It charts the pitfalls and perils of Dan’s life as he struggles to escape his dead-end job and the destructive whims of his friend Karl.
Dan (Craig Longstaff) is a budding musician - he has dreamed of becoming the star of the London Indie scene. However, things haven’t worked out as they should and he now finds himself stuck in a job he loathes with friends he hates. All he wants is to be left alone but everyone, not least his new-age hippy chugging co-workers, seem to expect something from him. Karl (Mavo) is Dan’s best friend and worst enemy at the same time. He is a former successful city slicker who lost his job in the Crunch, Karl is now convinced he must ‘make a difference’. However, ends seem to justify means in his psychopathic philosophy, making Karl a loose cannon, a delusional madman and a fun drinking buddy. Dan and Karl’s docile sidekick is called Tommo (Ed Christmas). He is at the butt of every joke and at the end of every misdirected fist.
In the first episode, Dan arrives for another gruelling day as a Chugger and is put through the usual motivational trauma of his overzealous boss, Nick. Check it out:
