Channel 4 is calling for creative geniuses, and wants to give them a chance to see their work broadcast on national TV. As you’re passionate about making film, I hope that you might be amongst those best able to offer innovative ideas and/or pass this information on to others.

Adam and Joe are presenting a new series to be broadcast later this year showing the best of people’s home movies. But we’re not talking “You’ve Been Framed” here. We want spoofs, rants, the funny, angry, sideways slices of life that you create yourself. Preferably quirky and innovative but the subjects can be serious, sad, silly - whatever.

5 minutes is the maximum length of each clip - the shortest is up to you. We can also show extracts of longer work.

Adam & Joe’s Takeover TV is the show where you don’t just control the content - you create it! The film makers of tomorrow are what we’re looking for. This is the series on which Adam & Joe were originally discovered. We can’t offer a Hollywood budget (or even any budget I’m afraid) but do offer the perfect showcase on national TV.

The submissions can be on any format. For more details on how to submit clips and a look at a gallery of classic clips go to:
