Burying Brian is a six-episode dramatic miniseries that aired on TVNZ's One in New Zealand. Jodie's life is turned upside down after she loudly drunkenly declares to her friends in a bar that she wishes her husband, Brian, would drop dead - and then returns home to find that her wish has been granted. In a panic, she realises that her husband's accidental death will now look anything but - so she enlists her friends' help to remove his body and bury it in an empty field, thus removing all evidence of his death. After concocting a story that Brian has run away with his mistress, Jodie initially thinks she's got away with the cover-up, but things soon start to unravel - beginning with the revelation that the field Brian is buried in is being dug up for housing redevelopment.
