Same Old New Mould

Same old new mould

A series of fake documentaries, each episode follows people whose past life has interfered with their current one now.

Ep 1. ‘Past Life Bad Touch’ TALKSHOW

Mike (16) and Jane (48) are both past lifers and in a relationship with a difference. In Mikes past life he was Jan’s retired next-door neighbour who molested her when she was a child. Today, Jan was a teacher at Mike’s secondary school, till an unknown attraction brought them together and finally to reveal their unconventional pasts and possible futures.

 

Ep 2. ‘Past Life, same as this life’

Jerry works in a Shoe repairs kiosk but in a past life he was a cobbler in 18 century London. Coming to terms with this revelation Jerry searches out the differences and similarities between his life then and today “Yeah, turns out cobblers didn’t do key cuttings; probably why I’m so bad at it and I have to get Sam to do the Cubbs.” (Turns out it’s the same but with more modern parlance). He is so dull but has letters of enthusiasm about his past life (town history/the person he married/ETC).

 

Ep 3. ‘Past Life, same threat’

Brenda finds out in a past life that she was ‘Brin Williams’, who was a leader of an anti monarchy terrorist cell in the 1600; who failed in their plans to assassinate the King at his wedding.

Whilst Brenda finds out more of this interesting past, especially from her perspective of being a man in a past life, she is being followed and monitored by MI5, who detain her at the airport as person of ‘interest’ in the lead up to the new royal wedding.  

Ep 4 ‘Past Life, powers’

Charlotte was a psychic in a past life. Today, without powers, she gives talks to budding young psychics in setting up their own psychic businesses, controlling their powers and not abusing the trust Mother Earth has given them. In her conferences she tells stories of revealing the past lives of upper class Victorian men and women at séances, chuckling at the memories of their faces when the Victorian men and women found out they were famous figures of the 1700s.

She is also touring and signing her new book “My past, and how it can help you to see a future for viewing other people’s pasts”

 

Ep 5 ‘Past Life, What past life?’ (Told like a history doc)

Henry is the most hated man in his small town. A year ago the community centre hired a psychic to read peoples auras and tell them who they were in a past life. After a private session Henry tells everyone he was the reincarnated soul of the towns’ beloved founder. Weeks later he is elected the town mayor and he systematically abuses his power for his family and the many mistresses he uses. One year to the day, the psychic returns to do a follow-up session, shocked to see what has happened she sets the town people straight; who then throw Henry out of town forcing him to live in a caravan by the town limits (where he is interviewed).

Henry reveals, at the end, that the psychic couldn’t see a past life in him, so he lied and made one up to save grace in the community who all seemed to have one.

(Whilst being interviewed the towns’ people occasionally hint that they also didn’t have a past life that the psychic could see OR it was so inane they denied it)
