| Summary |
*Coarse language and sexual references*What did you want to be when you were a kid? Internationally successful Australian comedian and all round nice guy Lawrence Leung sets off on the adventures of a lifetime as he tries - in real life - to achieve the dreams he had for himself as a child. Lawrence Leung's Choose Your Own Adventure is an imaginative documentary/comedy/adventure series where the innocence of childhood ambition clashes with the realities of adulthood resulting in unexpected consequences that are hair-raising, heart-warming and hilarious. It's about finding out who we are, how we've changed, and what we can be.In each episode, Lawrence chooses an adventure he imagined having as a boy.Guided by mentors, and scrutinised by his loving but concerned parents (Lawrence's real mum and dad), Lawrence tries to make his naive dream come true as an adult. In the process, he meets and learns from the people who are living his dreams, and their own.In this first episode, true love is hard to find in the modern world - especially when Lawrence hasn't seen Angela since they were in 3rd grade. Twenty years later, Lawrence decides it's time to track down his childhood love and tell her how he feels.Lawrence hasn't been too successful with girls since then either. He slept in a bunk bed until well into his late twenties. Even if he finds Angela, what would he say to her to impress her? In an effort to make a big impression Lawrence thinks a serenade will do the trick, so he enlists the musical assistance of one of his 80s idols, popstar Tiffany (I Think We're Alone Now), to help him write a romantic ballad for Angela.Armed with love advice, an old love letter in one hand and a guitar in the other, will Lawrence find Angela and finally reveal to her his feelings... 20 years after he last saw her?PRODUCTION DETAILS:Produced by Leung Shot Productions in association with ABC TV. Written and created by Lawrence Leung. Executive Producers: Martin Robertson, Julian Morrow; ABC Executive Producer: Megan Harding |
