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.
