Bad Sugar (2012x1)

Air date: Aug 26, 2012

Written by Peep Show's Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong, Bad Sugar stars three of the biggest female names in British Comedy - Olivia Colman, Julia Davis and Sharon Horgan - who also co-conceived the idea. Centred on a dysfunctional mining dynasty with an ailing patriarch and some greedy siblings, Bad Sugar is a peculiarly British take on telenovela style melodramas, played for laughs, and also stars David Bradley, Peter Serafinowicz, Kayvan Novak and Reece Shearsmith.
