BBC Three reveals its autumn and winter line-up
BBC Three has announced the comedy shows that will form its autumn and winter 2010 schedule. The line-up includes some shows that were previously announced as part of the channel's summer schedule, but have been held-back to give the broadcaster a strong line-up for the winter months...
The hit sitcom starring Johnny Vegas returns for a sixth series. After fleeing the UK in order to avoid a possible prison sentence, Moz and Jenny travelled to several different countries - although Jenny doesn't seem to remember which ones. When they turn up on the doorstep, it isn't quite the homecoming they'd hoped for. For a start, PC, the police constable has taken up residence in Moz's old flat, with his ex-girlfriend Nicki. Janeane Garofalo joins the cast as Tilly, a beautiful, witty, artistic American girl, who runs her own small designer clothes shop. Our Guide
The second series of Dan Clark's sitcom is currently being repeated on BBC Two, and Series 3 is coming to BBC Three this autumn. At the climax of last series it looked like Don's luck was about to change. But on joining Don at the start of Series 3, it appears that things didn't quite go according to plan, and each day is a trial for Don as he must face up to the fact that he blew his chance with new flatmate Sam. To make matters worse, she has a new boyfriend (played by Daniel Taylor).
Russell Tovey and Sarah Solemani star in this sitcom about what really goes on behind the bedroom doors of today's 20-somethings.
Tovey plays Steve, a laddish, unemployed man with no desire to seek employment, who is surviving on benefits. Solemani plays Becky, a ladette, who is unemployed with no desire to seek employment either. The hub of Him And Her is the couple's unmade bed and their rather-too-lived-in bedsit. Our Guide
Simon Bird, Katy Wix and Nick Mohammed host this new anarchic panel show. Each week on The King Is Dead a well-known public figure is hypothetically bumped off and it's down to the comedic interview panel to scour the Great British celebrity pool for a top-notch replacement. Three celebrities compete in this unique and vigorous interview process in a bid to prove they are the best applicant for the available job.
This topical comedy show is a huge hit for BBC Three, so it is no surprise that Russell Howard will be back with a third helping of his topical series this autumn.
With a mix of stand-up, sketch, clips and interviews, Russell will once again don his news hat to trawl through the media and put his own unique spin on the big stories of the week.
