[edit] Plot

The Hit Squad is about a team of washed-up 80s songwriters named Roddy Stones, Frank Miller, Charles Whitecastle, Mr Simms and New Kid. Each episode they work various plans to try and regain their fame, fortune and Jack Daniels sponsorship. They manage to run into trouble around every corner including zombies, rap-warefare, inter-dimensional travel, prison and more. Popular 80s celebrities feature in each episode to try and give the team a hand to reach their goal, more often than not, the celebrities never get listened to.

[edit] Characters

Roddy Stones is the main protagonist. Dressed in his dirty white vest and jeans, he is the leader of the group that the rest of the team look up to.
Frank Miller is a tiny foul-mouthed cockney who wants to try and have sex with anything that Roddy doesn't get to first.
Charles Whitecastle is the glue of the group. He often tries to balance out Frank and Roddys plans, but often gets caught up in them.
Mr Simms is a mysterious investor in the studios the team work in. He tries to keep the studio afloat by hair-brained schemes which the team complain about.
New Kid is the newest member of the team. Never quite managing to "earn his name", he remains named "New Kid" until he does something to impress Frank. He is also thought to be a closet homosexual due to his overly camp actions
