"I was a Nickelodeon kid. So, Sunny D is a combination of all of those and there are some nostalgic aspects to it, as well as semi autobiographical".

Sunny D, the sitcom pilot written by and starring comedian Dane Baptiste, has been given a full series by BBC Three.
British Comedy Guide, 21st December 2015Excitable comedy pilot that premiered on iPlayer earlier this year, written by stand-up Dane Baptiste. He plays "Dane", a listless wage-slave pushing 30 but still living at home with his parents and belligerent twin sister. The idea of dreams crushed by soulless office life isn't exactly groundbreaking, but Baptiste's fourth-wall-breaking patter is enlivened by hyperkinetic editing, animated asides, fantasy cutaways and even some Sherlock-style onscreen text. John Thomson and the great Don Warrington round out the cast.
