Ralf Little: 'The Cafe's about real people'

Royle Family favourite Ralf Little writes and stars in Sky1's new comedy The Cafe...

What's On TV, 21st November 2011

Yes, it's yet another brand new comedy from Sky! The Cafe's been written by Ralf Little - you know, him off The Royle Family and Two Pints of Lager. But what's it about? Well, the clue's kind of in the title - we meet all the different people coming to a cafe in Weston-Super-Mare. Sarah (Michelle Terry) wants to be a writer, Little's character Richard is her former childhood sweetheart, and John (Daniel Ings) is Richard's old love rival. Obviously, there are loads of other characters as well - it might be worth checking out this double bill to see if you want to stick around.
