To Hull And Back

To Hull And Back is the eagerly anticipated sitcom pilot from the BBC New Comedy Award 2012 winner Lucy Beaumont. It is part of BBC Radio 2’s Comedy Week – a week of programming that will feature a number of new and exciting one-off comedy commissions from established artists, as well as up-coming and emerging new talent.

Sophie (Lucy Beaumont) still lives at home with her mum in Hull. They make a living doing car boot sales at the weekend – except they don't really make a living because her mum can't bear to get rid of any of their junk. As their house gets more cluttered, Sophie feels more trapped. Sophie dreams of moving to London to meet her dad and to become a famous actress. Will this dream come true?

With Lucy Beaumont as Sophie, Maureen Lipman as Sheila, Kerrie Marsh as Jean, Norman Lovett as Ernie and Jemma Walker as Michelle.

Producer/ Carl Cooper for the BBC
