Published: 27 October 2016
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, BBC Three is the home of the best, brightest and most innovative British comedy around today.
The show features 'Televisionary’ and 'Truth Crusader’ Christoph Spinelli (Rich Fulcher) who has come to the UK to do for British Crime what he’s done for America - speculate to the point of insanity and manage to make a story out of absolutely nothing. In search of a miscarriage of justice to defend, Spinelli’s documentary investigates the mysterious disappearance of Polly Worcester and her would-be attacker, Tom Jessop, with all the objectivity, truth and (most importantly) sexiness you would expect. Unfortunately for Tom, Spinelli is the last person you would want on your side…
Sexy Murder stars The Mighty Boosh comedian, Rich Fulcher as Christoph Spinetti, alongside Nick Mohammed, Lolly Adefope, Shaun Williamson, Maggie O'Neill and features James Gordon, Daniel Barker, Phil Wang, Marcia Warren and Ewan Bailey.
Ash Atalla, Roughcut TV, says: "Roughcut, as well as having a growing sitcom business, is embracing fast turnaround short form projects like BBC Three’s Sexy Murder. It's brilliant and silly and is a way of comedically reflecting the shows everyone is talking about."
Rich Fulcher, says: “This show is so sexy that I want to have sex with it.”
Damian Kavanagh, Controller BBC Three, says: "I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, BBC Three is the home of the best, brightest and most innovative British comedy around today.”
Sexy Murder (6x5) is a Roughcut TV production for BBC Three. It was commissioned by Damian Kavanagh, Controller BBC Three and Alex Moody, BBC Comedy. Ash Atalla is Executive Producer at Roughcut TV.
The show was created by the team behind BBC Three’s Top Coppers, Produced By Roughcut TV’s Bertie Peek, Directed by Céin McGillicuddy, and Written by Andy Kinnear & Céin McGillicuddy.
Sexy Murder will be available from BBC Three and embeddable in full from www.youtube.com/bbcthree w/c Monday 31 Oct.
