When You Hit Rothbottom

What's it all about

WHEN YOU HIT ROTHBOTTOM: Amelia Buckmore is a Nikki Rothbottom scholar living the #phdlife in 2029. Her funding to study the enigmatic creature that is Rothbottom, has been rejected. She's doing it anyway!
Join Buckmore recover an under-researched era in the aggressively adolescent period of the 21st Century where little-known vlogger, blogger Nikki Rothbottom tried to take over the life of instafamous #trustfundbaby Richard Wardrobe after being rejected from reality TV show ‘Kooked in Kensington’.

Buckmore says:
Rothbottom has a plan involving one of the Kensington elite, Richard Wardrobe, but she needs to get creative when his troublesome boyfriend, Boutaje, gets in the way. How far will Nikki go to be known, liked, loved?

When You Hit Rothbottom shines a light on the passive roles women have been conditioned to play in society and how these can spill into unhealthy behaviours to seek control. Challenging the ‘Bunny Boiler’ stereotype that has been prevalent in Film and TV, the series unites two women who are separated by time, space and culture. We are all trying to work out who we are and how we fit in (whether we're an intellectual or lifestyle vlogger) some of us are just a little more enthusiastic about it: Meet Amelia Buckmore and Nikki Rothbottom.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far. Would you like to see Nikki, Dickie and Boutaje's adventures continue? Then please continue to support the show.

MEET BOUTAJE BOIVIN


Dickie’s French fancy. A suave, well-travelled playboy. If you order the Verve he’ll get the Dom.


Leaving St. Tropez, Boutaje and his Gucci loafers walked into Dickie’s world. What he didn’t realise was that the gum he thought he’d scraped from his sole would still be there in Londres.


Tune in next week and watch the mayhem begin!


Is Nikki in the house? Wanna see?
