Take That star pens comedy drama

Take That

Take That star Jason Orange has penned a This Life-style TV show.

The singer, 37, has received interest from the BBC and Channel 4 about the comedy drama, which follows a group of thirty-somethings living in Notting Hill. If picked up by one of the broadcasters, the show, called Popstars and Pilots, will air over a period of 10 weeks.

Characters include songwriter Kate, pop superstar Gabriel, airline pilot Andy and their friends Lara and Sam.

A source told the Daily Star: "The show is going to have some serious themes but there will be plenty of comedy elements, too. It will take a look at modern city life, interweaving storylines with songs and contemporary dance."

Jason confirmed: "I'm very excited about the whole project."
