Interview: Steffen Peddie
Steffen Peddie can't believe his luck. A year ago he travelled down to Manchester with comedy pals Jason Cook and Chris Ramsey to perform a TV pilot at the Salford Sitcom Showcase. From over 80 scripts submitted, only six were staged at the BBC event last October. And from those, just two were given the green light for a full series: Citizen Khan, the controversial Asian sitcom currently airing on BBC One, and Hebburn.

Jason Cook started writing jokes to escape the daily grind of the Merchant Navy. Yet when his BBC2 sitcom Hebburn was given the green light for a full series earlier this year, Cook found himself back working 16 hour days, this time in the writing room. Producing the North East sitcom has taken up the past year of his life, but now the series is done and dusted - with an October air-date in sight - Cook is back doing what he loves most: stand-up.
