FAWLTY TOWERS, THE OFFICE, BLACKADDER... the BBC's track record for comedy is legendary. This session will present the first episodes of three new series: BACK re-unites the comedy dream duo Mitchell & Webb with Emmy-winning writer Simon Blackwell for a sitcom about two quarrelling heirs to a popular pub. WHITE GOLD takes an acerbic look back at the anything-goes business world of the 1980s, where a couple of window salesmen are living the high life of sex, drugs and double-glazing. And as for ILL BEHAVIOUR... well, let's just call it a morbidly romantic comedy thriller about best friends and worst dates, about kidnapping, involuntary chemotherapy, lots of alcohol and a cross-bow. As with the others – you really have to see it for yourself.
