Sky Living orders six one-off ‘Love Matters’ comedies

Posted Filed under

The six 30-minute tales will “paint a fresh picture of romance and the pursuit of it in the 21st century”.

Antonia Hurford-Jones, Director Sky Living commented: “It’s exciting times as Sky Living evolves over the coming months and the Love Matters comedies are a really important indication of where we are going. Written and starring some of the best of British talent, they will show our customers Living’s appetite and ambition for brilliantly funny and confident original, scripted content on the channel.”

Sarah Solemani (Him & Her) has written Aphrodite Fry about a Brighton based mural artist, Aphrodite, who is spurned by a fleeting and lacklustre one-night stand.

Written by BAFTA award-winning Daran Little (The Road to Coronation Street), Blackpool-based Kitten Chic follows the large, confident but ever-single, 17 year old Kitten who is determined to snag the man of her dreams.

Written by Chris Little and Tom Vinnicombe, 30 and Counting is all about the quest for the perfect woman.

Isy Suttie (Peep Show) and Fergus March have written Miss Wright, a will-they-won’t-they comedy peppered with original musical numbers performed by Suttie.

A Nice Arrangement is written by Sanjeev Kohli. Sat and Siobhan have been going out for a while now, but she knows that going out with a British Sikh has its own set of cultural issues, so she’s utterly delighted when Sat finally asks her to move in.

Officially Special follows World Record Official Jo Pepper as she presides over some of the most bizarre and banal record attempts whilst juggling her own increasingly complicated personal life.

Love Matters will air on Sky Living in 2013.
