Going Down

Going Down

“Trapped between Religious Broadcasting and Garden
Makeover programmes. With a claustrophobic rabbit.
Now that’s a new definition of hell.”

Claustrophobia isn’t about enclosed spaces – it’s a fear of not having an escape route. Four people are stuck in a lift at the BBC Television Centre: an actor auditioning for Casualty, a doctor-turned-MP and his wife, on their way to Westminster for an important late-night vote, and an animal rights activist dressed as a pink bunny rabbit. As the lift starts to fall, their secrets and hidden stories are revealed. Will a betrayal revealed provide one of them with a way out?
