BBC Three has ordered a pilot of a legal comedy starring Sian Reeves (Northern Lights) and Chris Hannon (Coronation Street).

The show - called Admin - centres around the staff of a fictional Manchester law firm. A largely North-Western cast also includes Neil Fitzmaurice (Phoenix Nights), Jessica Hall (Scallywagga), Abdullah Afzal and Christian Foster.

Writer David Isaac, who is also working on BBC Three sketch show Skallywagga, was inspired by his own time working at a law firm.

Admin will air on May 12.
