Zapped (TV series)
Zapped is a British television sitcom, set in both the real world and a fantasy world, with the majority of characters and stories wholly set in the latter. It stars James Buckley as Brian Weaver, a real world inhabitant who becomes trapped in Munty, a town in the fantasy world. Buckley announced during a live stream on 8 February 2019 that the show had been cancelled and he would not be making any more episodes. In February 2021, all episodes of the show were added to BBC iPlayer. Plot. Brian is an office worker in West London  who reluctantly takes delivery of a package addressed to someone in a place called Munty. He opens it, puts on the amulet within, and is teleported to the medieval setting of Munty. The three episodes of series one focus on his attempts to get back to the real world. He is not missed by his real world colleagues, who detest him. Setting. Munty is a place in a fantasy universe, where magic is a real force, but one closely controlled by a police state. The enforcers of the state are "fairies", who are the opposite of the traditional image of  the fairy - they are big, burly, thuggish men. The stories are mostly set in and around the town pub (The Jug and the Other Jug) and a nearby shop. They revolve around Brian's attempts to get home and his interactions with his newfound friends. Brian does not gel with his new surroundings and does not fit in, notably remaining in his real world clothes throughout. Episodes. Series 2 (2017). On 12 April 2017, it was announced that "Zapped" had been renewed for a second series of six episodes, to be broadcast starting 12 October 2017. Zapped (TV series) Zapped
