Stand-alone pilot created for potential series commission. In the late 1970s, Tony Mammoth is living a good life as a gym teacher, until an avalanche ends his life during a school outing in the French Alps. Or so it seems, because Mammoth was miraculously found 42 years later, perfectly preserved under the snow. In this British comedy series, Tony is briefly a media sensation. He then decides to pick up his old life, exactly where he had to leave it in 1979. That means the same job, the same friends and even the same car.
PE teacher Tony Mammoth is back from the dead with his old job back. He's determined he'll approach it the same way as in the 1970s - including parents' evening.
A life-changing event jolts Tony, prompting him to cherish moments, but his attempts falter, culminating in a scuffle with a stranger involving Theo, as Lucy contends with persistent locals aiming to aid her fertility treatment.
After the passing of his dear friend, Tony Mammoth resolves not to face life's twilight alone. He ventures forth, determined to find a kindred spirit to share his journey.
