Derwin Blanshard’s Extremely Classy Sunday Evening Programme is a reimagined post-modern take on the classic 1950’s variety/talk TV show.

Derwin Blanshard, (played by Wes Borg), is an eccentric British old-money millionaire blowhard, and the show walks a fine line between intellectual elegance and broad comedy, while being “filmed” with imaginary cameras for a fictional global television network.
