BBC opts for impro comedy
Published Friday, Apr 13 2007, 15:46 BST | By Joanne Oatts
BBC One has commissioned the writers of Drop to Dead Donkey Guy Jenkin and Andy Hamilton to write a six-part series which will be partly improvised.
Outnumbered is a comedy about a young couple, played by Hugh Dennis and Claire Skinner, and their children aged five, seven and 11, living in London.
The comedy will have a "semi-improvisational element", intended to ensure the two adults can be taken by surprise by their children.
The writers say this will make the set up more "real, giving a sense of the stuff small kids do come up with".
The series is expected to air later this year in a weekday slot after the BBC One 10pm news.
