This new show will feature stand-up comedians Joel Dommett, Iain Stirling, Tom Allen, Suzi Ruffell, Darren Harriott and Kiri Pritchard-McLean as they travel together to their respective hometowns. Talking about the show, the network explains: “It will follow the six comedians as they embark on a journey to each of their hometowns in search of what life is like there now. On what will be a literal trip of their lifetimes, each comedian will act as tour guide for the episode around their own hometown.”
The series is being filmed by Sacha Baron Cohen and Andrew Newman’s production company Spelthorne Community Television.
Connor who worked on the series said: “I’ve been lucky that the team around me on this project was really easy to work with all the way up. The Comedy Bus has been one of those projects that really transformed during editing and that often puts a lot of stress into the process, but it didn’t go that way. I always felt well supported in the edit, and on the same page with everyone at Spelthorne on where to take the show. And it ended up a better show for it. As an added bonus I had great fun getting to know more of the six talented comics that are the heart of the series.”
The series
starts on Wednesday 10th April 10pm on Comedy Central.
This 8-part series explores the story of Jesus through a unique lens: the people in his life who were closest to him. Each of the eight chapters is told from the perspective of different biblical figures, all of whom played a pivotal role in his life – Joseph, John the Baptist, Mary the mother of Jesus, the High Priest Caiaphas, Judas Iscariot, Pontius Pilate, Mary Magdalene and Peter. Each individual takes a turn guiding viewers through the emotional and epic story of one of the most famous figures in history, through his birth, death and resurrection, through a combination of scripted drama and interviews with a diverse group of scholars, faith leaders and theologians from across the ideological spectrum.
Editors; Huggy, Robyn, Matt Lowe and Phil all worked on this epic series. Huggy who was editing on it for nearly 4 months said “The production was of epic scale, using hundreds of extras on Ridley Scott’s former location for ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ in Morocco. I was always conscious of the time, effort and cost it took to shoot the material I was handling. I certainly learnt a lot about the story of Jesus and the people he came into contact with”
Series premieres March 25, and airs across the 4 weeks leading up to Easter 2019

Well done to Charlie who edited last night’s first part of a two-part documentary The Choir: Our School by the Tower follows Gareth Malone as he works with students at Kensington Aldridge Academy, the school next to the site of the tower block blaze, in which five of its students died. Gareth helps students put on a very special show to mark the reopening of their refurbished school. The aim is to celebrate their pride in the community, their happy memories and the courage and resilience they have shown in the wake of a disaster. This is a big-hearted film, sensitively put together and was testament to its transformative, therapeutic power of these remarkable children.
This ambitious series looks to crown the most beloved icons
of the 20th century, inviting audiences to vote for their most influential
figure. The shortlisted ‘icons’ have been divided up into different categories
depending on their field of excellence.
Nick Follows worked across the series and edited tonight’s episode which looks at Artists and Writers. Actress and model Lily Cole assesses the legacies and achievements of Pablo Picasso, Virginia Woolf, Alfred Hitchcock and Andy Warhol – four of the 20th century’s greatest artists and writers. Co-founder of the Cubist movement, Picasso possessed extraordinary talent from an early age. He could have had a brilliant career as a traditional artist, but chose to rip up the artistic rule book, creating defiantly sensual and provocative pieces. Woolf subverted expectations, both professionally and personally, breaking new ground in literature and issuing a rallying cry for artistic equality on behalf of women everywhere. Nicknamed the `Master of Suspense’, Hitchcock’s career spanned six decades, and he was behind some of the most famous moments in cinema. In an age of post-war prosperity, Andy Warhol’s work, which explored consumerism and mass production, was so revolutionary that while some thought he had redefined art, others believed he had broken it.
Voting
begins at the end of each programme at 10pm, and is open until 4pm the next
day. The winners of the two categories airing each week will be announced live
on The One Show – which will also be supporting the show’s grand finale in
February.
Icon’s Artists and Writers is aired tonight
at 9pm BBC2.
