As I mentioned the other day, one of the side benefits of producing Out of Office is that I have wound up taking a look at a whole bunch of different webseries. I've been trying to decide which show to recommend first, and in the end have opted for Jigsaw. A simple puppet show that has been going for quite some time now, I think it's a great example of what can be done with minimal budget.

The basic setup is a mad scientist in his lab with his robot assistant Milton. They are two great little characters who I warmed to immediately, and there's a large back catalogue of episodes ranging from 30 seconds to 9 minutes in length, so you can get to know them at your leisure. With a supporting cast of endearingly cheap friends (my favourite of which is Lump, Dr. K’s first attempt at creating life), I think it's a great show

Here's the promo reel, which gives a bit of a flavour of the show:
