Loaded probably won't get a second series
If you were a fan of Channel 4's sitcom Loaded last year, we have some bad news if you were waiting for series two.

British Comedy Guide, 6th September 2017Lily Brazier to star in BBC Three sitcom Wannabe
People Just Do Nothing star Lily Brazier has made Wannabe, a new sitcom pilot for BBC Three.
British Comedy Guide, 26th July 2017Loaded was a hoot. The premise of four flatsharing computer whizzes is hardly new, but we are spared comparisons with Silicon Valley or the (increasing) schmaltz of The Big Bang Theory by its being very rude, very British, and relying less on lovable underdogs than the ribald arrogance that comes with essentially unearned computer-app millions. It's written and produced by Fresh Meat's Jon Brown, Jim Howick excels as the (only) grounded worrier Josh, and, crucially, it's both near-credible and high good fun.
Euan Ferguson, The Guardian, 14th May 2017A question: what would you do if you had a windfall of £14million? If you're young, and in a new show called Loaded (Channel 4, Monday), you would buy a riverboat full of sandals. Not even the Messiah would have a use for all of those. But if you have £14million in your pocket you'd probably walk on water, too.
A great cast, including Jim Howick, show how miserable you can be with a huge fortune. How reassuring. Funny, a tad surreal, and with lots of internet terms that will both boggle you and make you laugh. A hit.

British Comedy Guide, 10th May 2017Jim Howick on why Loaded isn't the new Entourage
When I first spot Jim Howick, he's hanging around the entrance of London's Soho Hotel bar, eyes scanning the crowd for me.
Chole Hamilton, i Newspaper, 8th May 2017Preview - Loaded
There are not that many adaptations of Israeli comedy shows in Britain. The only one I can think is the BBC Two panel show The Bubble, which had one series back in 2010, so not a great record.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 8th May 2017Loaded review
When sitcom characters suddenly become wealthy, it's rarely good news for the viewer. Think Roseanne or Only Fools And Horses. But Channel 4's Loaded could well break that jinx, depicting four newly-minted tech millionaires who quickly realise that riches are the start of their problems, not the end.
