This is one of a number of pilots that BBC Television
will be undertaking over the next few months, and follows the broadband
premiere of hit comedy The Mighty Boosh,
with each episode being streamed a week ahead of its transmission on
BBC THREE, and the Best of THREE multiscreen application, a six-month
trial which started in May.
The multi-award winning and critically acclaimed series
returns to BBC THREE on 6 September, written by and starring Julia
Davis.
Having successfully framed Glen for all the murders,
for which he is being detained at Her Majesty's pleasure in Bettle Lodge
- an institution for the mentally insane - Jill is moving on with her
life, but first she must visit Glen and relieve him of the burden of
his chip and pin number.
However, Jill's one objective remains - to find Don
and make him hers. She drugs and kidnaps Linda, hooks her caravan to
her bright pink jeep and sets off to Bidderclyst in north Cornwall,
where Cath and Don are currently working through their marital problems
at the Trees Therapy Centre.
Jill is played by Julia Davis, Don is Angus
Deayton, Cath is Rebecca Front, Glen is
Mark Gatiss, Linda is Ruth Jones, and Dennis
is Marc Wootton.
Producer is Alison MacPhail, Director is Dewi Humphreys,
and Executive Producers are Henry Normal and Steve Coogan.
A Baby Cow Production for BBC THREE in association with
Oxygen Media.
