Amy Gledhill writes more Toads for Channel 4
Amy Gledhill is developing her Channel 4 pilot Toads further, she has revealed.
The reigning Edinburgh Comedy Award winner wrote and starred in the 13-minute Blap, released online in June, as a bride-to-be experiencing cold feet before her wedding.
Gledhill told fellow comic Richard Herring on his RHLSTP podcast that "I did a Blap for Channel 4 called Toads. Which is really hard to say in a Hull accent. Because we pronounce it 'Turds'.
"That's a diddy little pilot for a sitcom and Channel 4 are continuing to develop it, which is very nice. They've commissioned some more scripts and stuff like that. Hopefully, one day [it will be made], because that's the dream. I'd love that more than anything.
"Maybe next year something like that may happen" she suggested.
Produced by Various Artists Limited (Such Brave Girls, Juice) and based upon her Edinburgh Comedy Award best newcomer-nominated 2022 Fringe debut, The Girl Before The Girl You Marry, the Blap also stars Robert Gilbert, Leah Brotherhead, Edward Easton, Rosie Cavaliero and Andrea Valls.
Meanwhile, Jack Docherty has revealed that he is writing more scripts for BBC Scotland's Scot Squad spin-off The Chief, in which he reprises his role as Chief Commissioner Cameron Miekelson.
Speaking to Michelle McManus on her BBC Radio Scotland Afternoons show last month, Docherty disclosed that while the series had yet to be officially recommissioned, he is working on storylines to take it beyond its initial four episodes.
Channel 4 declined to comment on the Toads' scripts commission.
