I've never listened to the radio series, but loved it on TV. Good, same, or better on radio...? (Which I know was original.)

I think better as the radio version was all to do with Politics, rather than Celebrity. Both stand up well though. Plus, the TV version has Zoe Telford in it.

Jeremy Lion Sitcom - Unknown Title (ITV1 Pilot)
Adam and Eve (BBC1 Pilot)
Great News (BBC1 Pilot)
Soapington Way (ITV1)

There are 3 clips on youtube of the Jeremy Lion pilot, really funny. I doubt Adam & Eve will happen yet though because of Moffat taking over Doctor Who. Great News I would really like to see on TV, it's got a great cast and team behind it. As does Hibbert & Long. And yay for Harry Hill.

Our 'coming soon' page is in a bit of a mess at the moment, sorry. It'll be sorted out this weekend and lots of other shows added (there's probably about 30 to add that are not listed on our coming soon page at the moment).

So, yeah, check back soon for details on over 50 series either coming back or coming for the first time.

Here's a list of the new comedies coming very soon:

The Kevin Bishop Show (this Friday): https://www.comedy.co.uk/tv/the_kevin_bishop_show/

Tonightly: https://www.comedy.co.uk/tv/tonightly/

C4's Comedy Lab season: https://www.comedy.co.uk/guide/group/comedy_lab_2008/

The Kevin Bishop Show pilot was *really* good. Much, much better than I expected. Especially the screaming race driver (giggling to myself remembering it).

Dan

Jeez, another 50? There's a lot of new comedy coming out.

"Oh, my godddd, it's going to fast. Arghahahahaha." Love it. :D

Exactly! Laughing out loud

:D

In the radio show, Prentiss McCabe is a "Government-media relations consultancy", which works closely with the government (often the dark side of New Labour)

You say that like there's a side of 'New Labour' which isn't dark? :S

Unfortunately, much of it is (probably) wanky, sketch shows.

Really? That was one of the few that I didn't like (there's a couple with a similar theme in the new series as it happens).

Unfortunately, I think you're right.

The Wrong Door is the next sketch show up on BBC Three. I'm going to give that one a chance as it sounds interesting (mix of CGI and live actors ala Rodger Rabit)

Any news on the BBC3 pilots earlier this year, and whether any will get series?

Do you mean Admin and Placebo and and all them? I haven't heard zilch. By the way, was Alcie Lowe's "Life Spam," ever shown?
