Description

Audrey and Jack are poles apart in age and background, but, as a wheelchair user and rough sleeper, they are both literally and metaphorically overlooked by society. When they are thrown together, will this shared circumstance (and their love of crime novels) be enough for them to overcome their own preconceptions and forge a genuine friendship?

Really powerful and moving. I laughed and I cried as the message in Overlooked is so emotional and moving. The main actors were so talented and in tune and the supporting cast were funny and skilful. Overlooked definitely needs to go on tour! I want to see more of Audrey and her story in the future.

This is really good show - the storyline captures and challenges, without being preachy and it leaves you with lots to think and talk about afterwards. They deserve bigger audiences.

A must see. A great find. Sterling performances from the two protagonists who find and share the best and worst in each other. Ultimately a story of hope and faith springing from great adversity in our times.
