Playing Shop
The pilot for Playing Shop was recorded in front of a live studio audience last night at Teddington Studios. I was not there as the ticket company (not their usual one) were rather useless at getting their act together, but never mind…
The sitcom (for once David couldn’t tell the audience to not waste their time looking for a narrative) was about two men (played by David and Rob) who are made redundant and set up an office in a shed. Very Credit Crunch, I am sure! Here are some facts about it:
- My spy thought it was produced by Gareth Edwards, so his fan club will be happy.
- *Edit* It’s actually produced by Sue and Beryl Vertue from Hartswood Films, who made Men Behaving Badly. Thanks, James. So it has a Moffat connection now too!
- James Bachman plays a gay in it.
- The shed business is an internet dating site.
- David has a girlfriend in it.
- Burnt sports equipment features.
My spy met David Mitchell’s parents and can confirm that they are lovely.
