Sky has released a first look at Danny Dyer and Ryan Sampson as estranged brothers in their new six-part comedy, Mr Bigstuff.
Sky's new six-part comedy Mr Bigstuff, will air this spring and follows estranged brothers Glen and Lee, with Glen being played by Ryan Sampson and Lee being played by Danny Dyer.
Created and authored by Ryan Sampson, Mr Bigstuff explores broken families, brotherhood, manhood and carpet sales. Glen is a nervy perfectionist and carpet salesman striving to live the suburban ideal, whilst Lee is an alpha male with a prescription drug addiction and a biscuit tin full of their dad’s ashes.
Glen and his fiancée Kirsty, played by Harriet Webb, share a perfect, perfectly mundane life together. Sure, Glen’s got crippling erectile dysfunction and Kirsty has a secret shoplifting habit, but they’re happy. That is until Lee comes crashing into their lives, whilst on the run from a past that’s quickly catching up with him.
The trio are forced together: a perfectionist, a fantasist and an anarchist all living under the same roof in an Essex cul-de-sac. It’s not long before their ‘perfect’ lives start to unravel faster than the weave of a cheap carpet.
Starring alongside Danny, Ryan and Harriet, will be Adrian Scarborough, Fatiha El Ghorri, Ned Dennehy, Victoria Alcock, Geoff Bell, Nitin Ganatra and Judi Love.
Mr Bigstuff is produced by Hayley Sterling and executive produced by Anil Gupta for Sky Studios, Tom Miller and Sam Myer for Water & Power Productions and Matt Lipsey who also directs.
