BBC Three commissions new sitcom ‘The Secret Dude Society’

Posted Filed under

The six 30-minute episodes will begin filming in Glasgow in early 2013.

Edinburgh Fringe Festival regulars Pappy’s are formed of Tom Parry, Matthew Crosby and Ben Clark.

Zai Bennett, BBC Three controller, commented: “The Secret Dude Society with Pappy’s has fantastic energy and a super high gag rate. It’s the first a studio sitcom we’ve green lit in years on BBC Three and should complement our on-going comedy renaissance.”

Gavin Smith, Creative Director, Comedy Unit, added: “We’ve long been fans of Pappy’s amazing live shows, so it’s been great to work with them on taking their on-stage personas and finding a sitcom world for them to inhabit which still has room for all the mayhem they convey to a live audience. We can’t wait to get in the studio to do something a bit silly and a bit special.”
