Synopsis

Sitcom by Adam Rosenthal and Viv Ambrose, set hundreds of thousands of years ago among a tribe of proto-humans.

Newfangle is bottom of the tree; despised by his mother, savaged by alpha male Alf on a daily basis and ignored by Snaggle, his favourite female. But Newfangle is a hominid with big ideas. He invents language, which he hopes will transform his situation, only to find that words have a way of being twisted to new and unpleasant uses.
