FIRST LOOK Pushers

A first look at Rosie Jones' first ever sitcom for Channel 4!

Channel 4 has today released five first look images from their upcoming comedy Pushers, from Rosie Jones and Peter Fellows, previously titled Disability Rights.

Having had her state benefits cut to shreds after being made redundant, a young woman with very little left to lose begins to build an illegal drugs empire. But Emily, played by Rosie Jones, isn’t your average street-dealing dope peddler, she’s sharp, funny, biting, highly educated, and on top of all that, she has cerebral palsy.

People have underestimated Emily her entire life. If they’re not patronising her for completing the most menial of tasks, they’re pretending she’s not there.

What better disguise could there be for criminal activity than to be entirely written off by the same broken system which exists to protect the law?

Joining the cast of Pushers alongside Rosie are Ryan McParland as Ewen, Jon Furlong as Sean, Lynn Hunter as Pat, Rhiannon Clements as Jo, Ruben Reuter as Harry, Libby Mai as Hope, Trevor Dwyer-Lynch as Minibus Masir and Clive Russell as Emily’s dad Clive.

Co-produced by Merman Television and 2LE Media, Pushers is based on an award-winning Comedy Blap and stars Rosie Jones in her first ever sitcom. Produced by Charlie Laurie, it's been executive produced by Clelia Mountford for Merman Television and Michael Livingstone and Tom Thostrup for 2LE.

Pushers launches in June on Channel 4
