Synopsis

Bugged is a short, animated comedy series about anarchy and absurdism, themes that reflect the confusion that many people feel when confronted with the modern world.  Following the surreal lives of a group of insects, arthropods and other creepy crawlies who share a house in Surbiton, Bugged is the alternative view of insect life that David Attenborough didn't want you to see.

Each episode is told in flashback through the eyes of the main character Karl, a neurotic housefly as he visits his psychiatrist.

The supporting cast, who live with Karl and generally multiply his troubles, are also bugs: Karen, a timid daddy long-legs who works as a cleaner at the local school; Chas, a fat and lazy PlayStation-addicted centipede and Phil, an aggressive caterpillar who works as a bouncer at a local nightclub.

In every episode, a surreal special guest appears who will go on to cause trouble for the housemates, be it French Martians, or an underfed sofa.

The pilot episode plays out Karl's determination for vengeance, when he is horrified to discover that his sausages are missing...
