Sword and sorcery fantasy comedies tend to be hit and miss. Dave makes an attempt with Zapped. In the first episode, Brian Weaver (James Buckley) is a temp on the verge of being sacked from his job. He ordered a phone charger and gets some sort of amulet that transports him to the fantasy land of Munty.
In this dimension he ends up in a pub called The Jug and the Other Jug. The regulars frequenting it seem to be a band of losers. A useless soothsayer, a drunk wizard, some kind of half-giant, half-dwarf and a warrior turned publican.
It turns out that Paul Kaye's Wizard had ordered the magical amulet but was sent the phone charger by mistake, Brian could use the phone to return home but his battery has run out and there is nowhere to plug his charger.
An interesting but unoriginal concept. Yonderland did something similar recently and a few years before that Krod Mandoon And The Flaming Sword Of Fire.
Paul Kaye brings some life into this then again he has recent practice in being in fantasy productions. The jokes were lukewarm, the budget low but I did like the first episode enough to keep watching the series.
