Some new comedy from BBC....all of which are single-camera and contain no laugh track.
I Want My Wife Back stars Ben Miller (Armstrong & Miller Show, Moving Wallpaper, Primeval, Death In Paradise, Ballot Monkeys) and has a similar "feel" as his earlier show The Worst Week Of My Life. Also starring Caroline Catz (Doc Martin, DCI Banks, Murder In Suburbia, Preston Front) as the wife he wants back with Peter Wight (Early Doors, Party Animals, Boy Meets Girl, Monday Monday, Our Zoo, Brief Encounters) and Jan Francis (Secret Army, The Good Companions, Just Good Friends, Stay Lucky, Under The Hammer, Spark) as her parents. Stewart Wright (Wild West, Doc Martin, Bonkers, Love & Marriage) is his boss and Kenneth Collard (Cuckoo, Detectorists) his friend.
Two Doors Down is a Scottish comedy which first appeared as a Hogmanay special a couple of years ago. Starring Alex Norton (Taggart), Arabella Weir (The Creatives, Posh Nosh, The Fast Show, Drifters), Doon Mackichan (Agony Again, Beast, Bedtime, Taking The Flak, Quick Cuts, Toast Of London, Plebs), Jonathan Watson (City Lights, Atletico Partick, Rab C Nesbitt, Bob Servant, Fried), Elaine C. Smith (Rab C Nesbitt, Naked Video, City Lights), Sharon Rooney (My Mad Fat Diary, Mountain Goats, Brief Encounters), Jamie Quinn (Still Game, Bluestone 42) and Harki Bhambra.
Witless is about a couple of roommates that witness a murder and have to go into a witness protection program. The photo below is the murder they witness. That's them in the background. The killer is using one of those new smart guns that you don't have to aim and that shoots fire out the back of it. I suppose that's why you don't aim it as you could burn your eyes. It also doesn't require you to pull the trigger or grip it solidly so you can wear bulky gloves when you fire it. Apparently, it just does what you will it to do. It reads your mind.
Anyway, it stars Kerry Howard (Reggie Perrin, Him and Her, Give Out Girls) and Zoe Boyle (Downton Abbey, Breathless) with Samuel Anderson (Emmerdale, Doctor Who, Trollied), Charlotte Eaton (Benidorm), Nick Preston (Our Girl), Anna Crilly (Lead Balloon, Anna & Katy), Tom Cawte, Nicholas Fruin, Nick Preston, John Hodgkinson and Samuel Oatley.
Witless
It's been reported that this will be returning for a second series and will pick up the story where it left off.
