A new comedy drama
BILKED
The lives, loves, and misadventures of the drivers and office staff at SOS Cabs — Southend-on-Sea's most chaotic taxi firm.
Welcome to
SOS Cabs
From lottery winners to ex-bouncers, army veterans to aspiring MCs, the diverse crew at SOS Cabs navigate the chaos of night shifts, difficult customers, and the occasional run-in with the local criminal underworld.
All while under the watchful eye of the formidable Devlin family — a 4th generation East End dynasty who own the firm and aren't afraid to remind everyone who's in charge.
Pilot + 6 Episodes
In production
Born from the back seat
Bilked is the brainchild of writer Alan Christie, based on an idea by Alan Christie and James Barrett — two working-class cabbies who have channelled their authentic experiences into a perfect blend of comedy and drama. With a pilot episode and a six-part series fully written, the show is currently in production with a release date scheduled for early 2027. Bilked promises to bring the chaotic world of the taxi trade to a small screen near you soon!
