Small intimacies often form during the in-between moments of daily life, skirting the edge of real connection. Short-form comedy The Drop Off explores the bubble of the school drop-off, a fertile space for catch-ups, petty gossip and eventual revelations between fellow parents.

This clip from the series uses a non-linear style to tease events from the previous night, revealing that these casual bonds can lead to real mishaps. Flashbacks to a school fundraiser are marked by awkward moments and charged exchanges. A familiar shorthand that forms from sharing a space together, no matter how briefly.

The show uses humour as a natural avenue to explore school politics, spousal responsibilities and friendship dynamics that must be maintained by virtue of shared parenthood. Written, produced and performed by Fiona Harris and Mike McLeish, the series draws on their own experiences to create relatable, grounded stories.
