New Sitcom Pilots

Paul Rose (writer of My Parents Are Aliens) has provided details in his blog about two new sitcom pilots he has written: "Too Much Too Young" and "Now The Weather".

Too Much Too Young is about a pair of childhood sweethearts who beat the odds, and stayed together. Angus and Shell started their family when they were just 18, but with daughter Kayleigh now on the cusp of adulthood they're discovering a whole new world of stress and worry. Bringing up kids is tough enough at the best of times – just imagine trying it when you've still got a lot of growing up to do yourself. The pilot stars Dylan Moran (Black Books) and Maxine Peake (Shameless). The pilot is in front of a live Manchester studio audience on October 1st.

Now The Weather is a comedy revolving around weatherman Gideon Pear who has always yearned for the respect of his peers, but is constantly let down by his own insecurities. This central role will be played by Mark Heap (Green Wing). The show will be shot using a single camera to add a realistic feel. The pilot will be filmed in October.
