BBC Comedy for Spring/Summer

Psychoville

Having created the kind of northern town that nightmares are made of, The League Of Gentlemen’s Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton return to BBC Two with a spine-tingling, jaw-dropping, thrilling comedy serial, Psychoville. Joining them in Psychoville is a rich mix of talent, including Dawn French, Eileen Atkins and Nicholas Le Prevost, plus there will be an expanded Psychoville experience online, written by the show’s creators.

Paul Whitehouse and Charlie Higson bring their controversial phone-in host Gary Bellamy to BBC Two. As with the Radio 4 show, Down The Line will be performed in a semi-improvised style with Bellamy taking to the road each week in his “Bellamymobile”, eager to meet the great British public (played by the cast) to discuss everything from immigration and religion to class and culture.

Taking The Flak is a comedy-drama about how journalists in war zones live in a state of perpetual danger, not just from the bombs, but from disease, dysentery, bedbugs, bugged beds, their colleagues, their competitors… and their loved ones.

Plus, BAFTA award-winning That Mitchell And Webb Look is back for a third series with a host of new characters.
