BBC orders a third series of High Hoops
Featuring Robert Webb and Isy Suttie
Following a successful first series, and with series two now airing on CBBC and BBC iPlayer, comedy
High Hoops – the CBBC comedy starring Peep Show alumni Robert Webb and Isy Suttie – has been renewed for a third series.
Another ten half-hour episodes of the show about a school basktball team will be made by CanCan Productions, based in Hebden Bridge.
The show revolves around the tall, gaffe-prone but unstoppable Aoife O'Neill as played by Darci Hull and also stars Nigel Boyle as basketball coach Jim.
Series two featured cameos from Johnny Vegas and Father Ted’s Pauline McLynn.
Webb plays headteacher Mr Holt and Suttie plays Aoife’s mum Bríd. She has said of her character: ‘Bríd really likes meditation and mindfulness, but she's also quite competitive, so she's often boasting about being the best one at mindfulness, which is a bit how I am in real life!
‘When I read the scripts, I thought it was really funny, and I read it without knowing it was aimed at kids, and thought, this is a really great family sitcom. So for me, the comedy came first.’
And Webb has said of his character: ‘Webb said: ‘Mr Holt tends to be aggressive, competitive, angry. He's one of those teachers who is still using sarcasm as his main form of communication, probably as his teachers did to him in the 1980s. All of the excellent teacher training that happened between then and now seems to have just passed him by. He still speaks to the kids, particularly Aoife, really quite disrespectfully, which is lots of fun for me.’
