British Comedy Guide, 1st March 2023Peter Capaldi directing Sky adoption comedy pilot, They F**k You Up
Peter Capaldi is directing a comedy drama pilot for Sky, They F**K You Up, based on Sarah Naish's memoir But He Looks So Normal: A Bad-Tempered Parenting Guide for Adopters and Foster Parents.
British Comedy Guide, 31st December 2022... In Deep, written by Tom Joseph and Thomas Eccleshare, whose MacGuffin comprised a message concealed in a tampon in the intimate parts of a female corpse. What redeemed it, though, was its unpredictability and crazy energy as it told the story of two hopeless inner-city policemen -- Ashley Walters and Adam Deacon -- yearning for excitement in their routine lives and suddenly (à la The Wrong Mans) getting far, far too much of it.
It ended on a cliffhanger with our two heroes bound in gaffer tape, about to be murdered by a crazed homosexual serial killer. That's the way to do your showreels: leave commissioning editors gagging to know what happens next.
