BBC COMEDY ANNOUNCES NEW SCRIPTED SERIES FROM EDINBURGH COMEDY AWARD WINNER AMY GLEDHILL
The BBC has commissioned Opening Up, a new comedy created and written by Edinburgh Comedy Award winner Amy Gledhill (Alma’s Not Normal, Sex Education, Taskmaster).
Opening Up, set and filmed in and around Manchester, is a warm relationship comedy about Penny (Amy Gledhill) and Rhys a long-term couple who try to fix their faltering sex life by sleeping with other people. They soon learn that entering an open relationship without a clue how they work is not a recipe for success…
Amy Gledhill and Nic Sampson say: “It’s an actual dream come true to get to make a comedy with the BBC, and their support and passion for this project has been incredible from the very start. We are thrilled to get to work with such a stacked cast and crew every day to bring this show to life. We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on.”
Opening Up (6 x 30’) is an Avalon production for BBC iPlayer and BBC One. It was commissioned by Jon Petrie, BBC Director of Comedy. The show is created and written by Amy Gledhill and Nic Sampson.
