Six comedy specials for Sky Living

Sky Living is to air six original comedy one-offs as part of a strand called Love Matters.

The broadcaster will bring together what it feels is some of the best writing talent in the UK for the bittersweet comedies that will paint a fresh picture of romance and the pursuit of it in the 21st century.

 Antonia Hurford-Jones, Director Sky Living says, “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.”

The six half-hour tales include a story about a Brighton based mural artist, Aphrodite, who is spurned by a fleeting and lacklustre one-night stand. Another is all about the quest for the perfect woman while Jo Pepper presides over some of the most bizarre and banal record attempts whilst juggling her own increasingly complicated personal life.

Writers include Sarah Solomani of Him and Her fame and The Road To Coronation Street’s Daran Little.
