Tiger Aspect today started production on Mount Pleasant, a new Sky1 HD eight-part comedy-drama, which will follow the life of Mancunian Lisa and the day-to-day adventures she has with her husband, friends and family.
Written by Sarah Hooper (Shameless), it boasts a veritable who's-who of British stars including Sally Lindsay (Coronation Street, Phoenix Nights) who takes the lead role of Lisa, Daniel Ryan (Skins, Just William) as her husband Dan, and a supporting cast that includes comedy veteran Bobby Ball, Pauline Collins (Upstairs Downstairs, Shirley Valentine), Angela Griffin (Waterloo Road, Hustle), Lisa Tarbuck (Linda Green, Extras), Paula Wilcox (Man About The House, A Touch of Frost), Sian Reeves (Cutting It, Emmerdale), Adrian Bower (Teachers), Neil Fitzmaurice (Peepshow), and Owen McDonnell (Single Handed). Phew!
Mount Pleasant Is Coming!Lisa is a real woman in a real marriage living in a real part of Manchester. She has no idea that another woman, Kate (Tarbuck), is making a play for her husband Dan (Ryan). On a daily basis Lisa has to fend off her temptress neighbour Bianca (Reeves), at the same time as toying with her own emotions when sexy singleton Jack (McDonnell) arrives in town. Lisa navigates the highs and lows with her best friends – and workmates - Shelley (Griffin) and Denise (newcomer, Ainsley Howard). She also remains a loving daughter to her ever-present parents Sue (Collins) and Barry (Ball).
Sky's Head of Comedy Lucy Lumsden commented: “I'm delighted with the wealth of talent that surrounds Mount Pleasant both on and off screen. What better way to kick off Sky's plans for original British comedy. Our customers are in for a treat.”
