'Spirited is a romantic look at life and love after death with a rock 'n' roll twist. From the producers of Love My Way, Spirited is a blackly funny exploration of love, death and life seen through the lives of a group of people who are extreme, complicated and unique. The eight episode, escapist and romantic drama series will take richly drawn characters through situations and storylines that are anything but predictable. This is a show with a lightness of touch and yet it also encompasses the absurdity of modern dentistry, explores the curious world of parenting, celebrates the punk aesthetic and depicts a unique vision of the spirit world' (Spirited website).

Tangle is 'about two generations of two families - sometimes connecting, sometimes colliding, sometimes at cross-purposes - as they navigate their way around the maze of love, sex, money and politics.' (Showcase website.)

A follow-up to Twisted Tales, Two Twisted was another anthology-style program, presenting short, dark narratives, each with a surprise ending. The producers put out a call for emerging script-writing, choosing the fourteen final scripts from the initial pool of applicants, then selecting a mixture of emerging and established directors, each of whom had four days to shoot their episode and a further four days to edit it.
