Fresh from Jack Rooke’s BAFTA and RTS win for Comedy Writer, the hit show “Big Boys,” produced by Roughcut, is making a triumphant return to Channel 4. Fans can rejoice as all their favourite characters will be back, including Dylan Llewellyn, Jon Pointing, Camille Coduri, Katy Wix, Izuka Hoyle, Olisa Odele, Harriett Webb, and Annette Badland. Brace yourselves for shocks and surprises along the way!
“Big Boys” is a heartwarming comedy-drama created, written, and narrated by Jack Rooke. The show revolves around an unlikely friendship between sweet, shy, newly-out Jack (played by Dylan Llewellyn) and boisterous, laddish, and ever-so-slightly mature student Danny (played by Jon Pointing).
In the upcoming third series, our gang enters their final year at Brent Uni. Expect all the ups and downs of dissertations, deadlines, dating, and even the devastating departure of Louis Walsh from X-Factor (at least for Jack). Peggy and Shannon embark on new romances while dealing with never-ending nappy changes. Meanwhile, Jack and Danny’s friendship is put to the test as they face the challenges of proper adult life. Will they still choose each other like before, or is this the end of the road?
Jack Rooke, the show’s creator, shared his excitement: “It’s been 10 years since I actually graduated Uni, and now yet again, I’m returning to my campus with a clapperboard and film crew to recreate the embarrassing endeavours of my youth. It’s a dream job! The response to series 2 has been beautiful, and we’re grateful that ‘Big Boys’ continues to connect with so many weird and wonderful viewers. It’s like being in a girl band, and we’re all desperate to come back like a pack of rabid dogs and put on a sexy, cringe, big funny show for you all!”
Charlie Perkins, Head of Comedy at Channel 4, added: “‘Big Boys’ is a snowball of a comedy show for us. Series 2 grew hugely from the already successful and critically lauded series 1. It seems to connect with everyone—from the young to the old, from comedy aficionados to hun-culture huns. We’re thrilled to be back with Jack and the Roughcut team and excited for people to see what’s next for the show’s motley crew.”
Ash Atalla from Roughcut TV commented: “What a beautiful journey this series continues to be. There aren’t many shows that have made me both laugh and cry in the edit, and we are so proud of this comedy that makes you feel something so visceral.”
“Big Boys” is based on comedy writer Jack Rooke’s award-winning live comedy shows, including ‘Good Grief,’ ‘Happy Hour,’ and ‘Love Letters.’
The third series promises laughter, heart, and unexpected twists. Tune in to Channel 4 for more adventures with the unforgettable gang of “Big Boys”!
