Bad Sugar

Julia Davis stars alongside Olivia Colman and Sharon Horgan in a spoof of Latin American telenovelas from Peep Show writers Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong. Sending up a genre that's already a send-up of itself is a tough ask, but they pull it off.

Comedy fans, prepare to be excited. This new pilot has impeccable pedigree, being written by Peep Show's Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong and starring three of our funniest actresses: Olivia Colman (Rev.), Julia Davis (Nighty Night) and Sharon Horgan (Pulling). It's a soapy spoof melodrama - think Dallas done by French and Saunders - about a rich, dysfunctional mining dynasty. Cue face-slapping, bitching and deliberately clumsy exposition.

Olivia Colman teams up with Julia Davis and Sharon Horgan for Bad Sugar, a wickedly funny new black comedy about a dysfunctional mining dynasty from the writers of Peep Show.
