大象传媒 Three commissions new comedy Clone
|
A new team-written comedy series created by Adam Chase, best known for his writing and executive producing roles on Friends, has been commissioned for 大象传媒 Three.
听
Clone opens with a brilliant scientist unveiling the result of his life's work: the first human clone.
听
Intended to be a prototype super-soldier who will eventually replace Britain's volunteer army, the Doctor quickly realises his super weapon is more likely to hug someone than shoot them.
听
Clone is a classic fish-out-of-water comedy revolving around the education of an innocent being who is seeing and experiencing our world for the first time.
听
It could also be described as a buddy comedy about a modern Dr Frankenstein and his monster.
听
Clone is the brainchild of Adam Chase and is the first commission from Ash Atalla's new production company Roughcut TV.
听
The series will be jointly executive produced by Ash Atalla (The Office, The IT Crowd, Man Stroke Woman) and Adam Chase.
听
Ash says: "It's a pleasure for Roughcut TV to be working with someone of Adam's calibre. This gets us off to a great start and we are very excited to be working with 大象传媒 Three."
听
The series was commissioned by Lucy Lumsden, 大象传媒 Controller Comedy Commissioning, and Danny Cohen, 大象传媒 Three Controller.
听
Danny Cohen says: "I'm thrilled that Adam Chase has come over from Hollywood to work with 大象传媒 Three - and it's great to be working with Ash and Roughcut.
听
"It's also really exciting to be experimenting with the team-writing model on Three: an approach we tend to use less frequently in British comedy."
听
Lucy Lumsden adds: "Clone is a brilliant addition to the line-up of 大象传媒's new audience sitcoms."
听
The series of six episodes will transmit later this year on 大象传媒 Three.
