BriefExplanation
After months of flirting in the office, Lance and Natasha have finally set a date for dinner. But when Natasha makes an unexpected announcement it sends Lance in to a panic. She drops the bomb... "You know I'm vegetarian right?". Cue panic as Lance realises that his fridge is stocked with nothing but meat. Lance is then taken on a journey into the magical land of New World and is introduced to all different kinds of vegetables. Even the New World assistant is there to help him make his decision. Finally he comes across yams, and looks at the vegetable with wonder. When Lance comes out of his day dream, he tells Natasha that he, too, is a vegetarian. The two laugh and it seems to be the beginning of a beautiful new relationship.
Execution
Hamish and Anna were cast because of their amazing ability for improvisation and their fantastically unique appearance and performance which stands out against the usual ad crowd. Having worked with Hamish before, we knew the range and depth he would bring to this spot and then found someone in Anna to compliment him with a sincere subtlety. Through their collaboration they created the characters' backstories which helped them in developing the script. It was evident from outset that these two together would enhance the dialogue and be able to carry it in different directions from ones previously imagined.
