Rich Fulcher to pilot sitcom about an adult shop

Mighty Boosh actor Rich Fulcher is to star in a Channel 4 sitcom pilot set around a struggling family-run sex shop.

British Comedy Guide, 20th January 2015

The jury's out on whether this bright, noisy sketch show - with skits including Come Dine With Me (featuring Jesus) and a relationship counsellor who talks in street slang - will make it beyond the pilot stage. But the committed performances by its cast (including Rich Fulcher who popped up in The Mighty Boosh) may see sitcom offers come their way. Plus it's a chance to catch newcomer Sam Fletcher - the main man in the bum-bag/third nipple sketch - who is fresh from a critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Fans of the underrated Snuff Box will be delighted at the prospect of For the Win, another pop at the surreal sketch show featuring the excellent and slightly creepy Rich Fulcher. He joins a cast including John Hopkins, Lizzie Daykin and London Hughes with knowingly peculiar material penned by Matt Stronge and Hopkins. There's Embarrassing Bodies on Ice, a talking nipple called Reg and a resurgence of the bumbag, while Lizzie has some relationship issues and so decides to buy herself a python. Some of this works, some doesn't.

The BBC's youth channel is airing a series of comedy pilots that were originally made to be shown online and have clearly tickled the fancy of the channel's commissioners. Written and directed by John Willie Hopkins, this latest, a mix of sketches, songs and characters, is genuinely endearing and entertaining. Rich Fulcher, of Mighty Boosh fame, provides the voiceover.
