Spencer Jones, Lucy Pearman, Shaun Williamson and Harriet Thorpe to star in comedy Mister Winner

Spencer Jones has been announced as the lead actor in the production.

“Two weeks ago, we were in so much debt that my missus had to hide our car a few streets away from the bailiffs. This week I’m the lead in a BBC One sitcom. Welcome to the entertainment industry. I really hope people like the show because I can’t find the car and the missus can’t remember where she parked it.” – Spencer Jones

Mister Winner stars Spencer Jones in the lead role as the ironically named Leslie Winner, who, despite all his best intentions, is forever finding himself in disastrous situations. Lucy Pearman stars alongside him as his fiancée Jemma, with Shaun Williamson as Jemma’s father Chris, Harriet Thorpe as Leslie’s mother Sharon, Oliver Maltman as Sharon’s younger boyfriend Steve, and Leon Annor, as Leslie’s best mate Cooper.

Leslie Winner is an eternally-optimistic klutz with his heart in the right place. Somehow, despite his calamitous nature, he has found love with his fiancé Jemma and they are preparing for their wedding. The pressure is on Leslie to find, and keep a job, pay for the honeymoon and keep his father-in-law happy, his mum and her new boyfriend happy and hang on to Jemma long enough to walk up the aisle together. Will Leslie be a winner or will his surname continue to be ironic?

Filming for Mister Winner, which is a BBC Studios production for BBC One, is already underway, the show will transmit in six, thirty minute, slots on BBC One. An air date is yet to be set by the Beeb.

“I’m delighted to be part of Mister Winner, alongside the brilliant Lucy and Spencer. Leslie is like the son in law I never wanted. I have to keep reminding myself he’s not real or I’d never sleep at night.” – Shaun Williamson
