Vexed

[tammyy2j]

Vexed follows Kate and Jack, a police detective duo with real chemistry. Bright, sexy and funny, their personal lives are as complicated as the crimes they investigate.

They may be cops but Jack and Kate suffer the same frustrations, pre-occupations and insecurities as the rest of us. Always on the move or in their unofficial office, the local cafe opposite the police station where the coffee and gossip are better, their cases say something about modern life in an entertaining way.

The premise of this new comedy sounds terribly cheesy - but the early trailer we've seen suggests it could actually be a lot of fun. It appears to contain cheeky jokes and well-executed slapstick and, thankfully, doesn't take itself too seriously.

It's written by Howard Overman who created the hit E4 series Misfits, and is brought to the screen by Psychoville director Matt Lipsey - hence we have high hopes Vexed will deliver some funnyness to our screens when it arrives on BBC Two soon. It stars
Toby Stephens and Lucy Punch.

BBC Two today announced that shooting has begun on series two of detective comedy Vexed, starring Toby Stephens who reprises his role as D.I. Jack Armstrong, paired with Miranda Raison who plays newly promoted D.I. Georgina Dixon.

Vexed is being filmed in Dublin and comprises six 60-minute episodes to air later this year. The series is created by Howard Overman with episodes written by Chris Bucknall, James Wood, Steve Coombes and Harry & Jack Williams.

Chris Sussman, Executive Producer for the BBC, said: "We're very much looking forward to the return of Vexed. The second series promises to be just as much fun as the first, and with Miranda Raison joining Toby Stephens as new partner D.I. Dixon, we're hoping it's going to be all guns blazing."
