Book of Jam (Jacob Topen and Ibrahim Clayton) say: “We’re delighted to bring Book of Jam's fly on the wall, dead-pan style to the BBC Comedy Festival. If a comedy festival needs more of anything, it’s more plucky Dundonians, and stoney faced Brummies, in a film about a funeral home.”
A Better Place is created and written by Book of Jam, the producer is Laura Ferguson and the executive producers are Jon Rolph and Matthew Cowan. A Better Place is a Production Attic production for BBC iPlayer, BBC Scotland and BBC Three. Commissioned for the BBC by Gavin Smith and Navi Lamba.
