BBC1's New Comedy To Bring Sunshine To The Autumn

Sunshine BBC1, Tuesday, 9pm WITH the combination of comedians Steve Coogan and Craig Cash, surely this comedy will be dynamite? We will have to wait and see, but it is definitely one to stick in your diary this week.

Steve Coogan plays Bob 'Bing' Cosby, a likeable chap with natural wit and optimism that is infectious to all those around him. The only problem is his inability to resist gambling a few quid on the occasional bet.

Bernadette, his childhood sweetheart and mother of their son, Joe, loves Bing for the person she's known all her life and, although she doesn't approve of and is often infuriated by his casual betting, she always reluctantly forgives him.

When Bing's gambling develops into something more serious than the occasional bet and the risks he takes become greater, it's no longer just a few quid that Bing stands to lose - potentially, it's everything.

The three-part series is written by Craig Cash and Phil Mealey, the teambehind the BBC's hit comedy Early Doors and co-writers of the Bafta award-winning The Royle Family - Queen Of Sheba. What more can you say?
