First I've heard of this:

You may have noticed that I've been a little quiet on my site recently. Well, I've been in the thick of rehearsals for my new Channel 4 show, Friday Night Dinner, which we start filming a week on Monday.
The show focuses on two brothers - played by Simon Bird and Tom Rosenthal - who see their mum and dad (Tamsin Greig and Paul Ritter) every Friday night. It's really about how we all seem to revert to being kids again the minute we step back into our parent's home.
The dialogue's snappy and the action is fast. I want the whole show to feel really pacy. It's all semi-autobiographical, I guess, in that it features a dad who sometimes eats out of the bins.
I have a fantastic, lovely, and also very silly cast, and along with director, Steve Bendelack, we've been working and mucking our way through the scripts for the past two weeks.
Sounds good? Anything with Popper involved certainly piques my interest.
