Burn It press pack


BBC THREE's Burn It is set in Manchester and rips into the lives of three men who thought they were still boys - no wives, no babies and no responsibilities. Carl, Jon and Andy have been mates forever.


They have spent 10 years running away from responsibility but now they've reached 30 it has suddenly hit them between the eyes.


Reluctantly they take a long, hard look at their lives and find themselves straying into the "dark side" - opening up to their feelings, emotions and to other people.


Burn It stars Kieran O'Brien (Hearts & Bones, Band Of Brothers) as postman Andy, not very good with girls or drinking. He lives with his first serious girlfriend Emma played by Lisa Faulkner (Spooks).


Melanie Brown (The Vagina Monologues) is Claire, Emma's best friend and fellow nurse; Chris Coghill (24 Hour Party People) is Carl, the leader of the pack, a builder by trade but a professional when it comes to womanising; William Ash (Clocking Off) plays Jon, a pretty boy with a sensitive side, he's coming to terms with losing contact with the daughter he had when he was a teenager and Marsha Thomason (Playing The Field) plays Tina, Jon's former girlfriend and mother of their child.
