Cast
JACK BRIGHT
When 40-something born-again life guru Jack Bright gets left at the altar by his 29-year-old influencer fiancée, Jemima, his post-mid-life pivot from finance boy to guru god takes a tricky turn for the worst.
REBECCA ESSIEN
Capable, charming (and ruthless) Rebecca specialises in advising social media influencers on how to…well…influence. A journalist by trade.
MAYUR KHAN
A true advocate (online and off) for the Your Better Self movement. He’s been there and bought the merch stand.
DR. GENE
The self-styled “Oprah of the North”, Dr. Gene, has more online reincarnations and makeovers under his belt than a Hollywood plastic surgeon.
BOBBY THORPE
Cherished among his closest friends for once thinking Brexit was an extreme prescription-only laxative, he has the liver of a large cow and the sense of humour of a brash, rural teenage girl.

JEMIMA PRINCE
Were Jemima’s wedding day jitters those of a love-struck bride having second thoughts, or a strategic move by a girl on the up? Only time, follower numbers and commercial endorsements will tell.
JOY BARE
His bear outfit is not just an outfit. It’s a lived experience. His commitment to justice (social or anti-social – he’s not picky) is matched only by that of his niche – and very tribal – online subscription-paying followers.
APPLE BAILEY
Loves a good online tit for tat as much as the next man. Unless the next man is Lawrence Fox.
DEBORAH HUNT
Fell into the world of influencers and social media when ‘invited to leave’ her job as a trainee manager at Asda for driving a forklift into a storage freezer while under the influence.
YINKA ESSIEN
On the cusp of a legal career (after a four-year gap year) his side hustle YouTube channel and online alter ego have yet to be uncovered – even by his mother.
