Second series for Do Gooders
Garrett Millerick sitcom starring Frank Skinner
Do Gooders, the star-studded sitcom set in a charity, is returning to Radio 4 for a second series.
The comedy stars Frank Skinner, Ahir Shah, Ania Magliano, Fay Ripley and Garrett Millerick, who also wrote it.
Series one of the cross-generational workplace sitcom ran last year, where it was warmly received by critics and earned two nominations in the BBC Audio Drama Awards, for best sitcom and for best comedy performance for Skinner.
Magliano was last week announced as one of the contestants in the forthcoming 20th series of Taskmaster.
Four new episodes of Do Gooders will be recorded by production company Avalon later this month, in front of a studio audience.
Writing in the Daily Telegraph last year, critic Tristram Fane Saunders proposed the show for living up to its name, saying: ‘Do Gooders is good. It’s not searing, necessary, urgent, radical, brave, experimental or any of the things that reviewers often seek to praise comedies for being. All it has going for it, in fact, is that it’s often very funny, and to this critic that’s enough. Jokes – actual jokes – arrive at regular intervals.’
The List likewise praised its ‘regular count of cracking lines’ while Chortle hailed the ‘gag-rich script’.
Free tickets to the recording of the new series, at Theatre Peckham on July 21 and 22, are available from Standing Room Only.
• Scott Bennett is recording a version of his stand-up show Blood Sugar Baby for Radio 4 at Squire Performing Arts Centre in his Nottingham hometown on July 17. Tickets for that are also available from Standing Room Only.
