6 × 30’ | Comedy–Drama | Rural Kent Village 

A darkly funny comedy‑drama about receding fame, rural reinvention, and the quiet menace beneath ‘idyllic’ village life.

Down From London follows Tom and Nyla as they trade the familiar noise of the city for a life that looks calmer on paper — and turns out to be far stranger in practice.

Tom, a faded Britpop bass-player turned vegan beekeeper-in-training, and Nyla — formerly Barbara — a Black ex-model rebranding her curated life, swap London for a Kent village post-lockdown in search of fresh air, purpose, and a reset.

As the world restarts, their new life proves anything but tranquil: the local primary-school PTA is a swingers’ paradise, Nyla attracts the obsessive attention of a local teenage girl, and an impulsively purchased goat triggers an all-out war with the WI.

As Nyla confronts the village’s quiet biases and her own past, and Tom chases compostable purpose, their marriage begins to fracture — and reform — in unexpected ways.

A story about reinvention, belonging, and learning to live slower, deeper, and with the village watching.
