Shooting starts on Rob Brydon comedy Bill's Included
As more names added to the cast
Filming has begun on the new BBC One comedy, Bill’s Included starring Rob Brydon.
Written by Ben Ashenden and Alexander Owen – aka The Pin – the show follows Bill Beam. a well‑meaning but over‑enthusiastic divorcee who rents his spare rooms to students to stay afloat.
As Bill tries — and often fails — to be both responsible landlord and honorary housemate, he and his mismatched lodgers muddle through chaos, growing pains and unexpected friendships
Joining the cast are Samantha Spiro and Nigel Lindsay as Bill’s neighbours, Siobhan and Martin and Kevin Eldon as record store owner Drew.
Dylan Brady, Ada Player, Harry Baxendale and Yasmin Al-Khudhairiplay the students.
Brydon said: ‘I feel very lucky to be part of Bill’s Included. Alex Owen and Ben Ashenden have written some truly wonderful scripts and I can’t wait to help bring them to life.’
Rupert Majendie, executive producer at programme-makers Baby Cow added that the show was ‘big, character-driven comedy with real emotional truth at its core… full of brilliantly funny performances, led by the incomparable Rob Brydon.’
Broadcast dates for the six-part series have not yet been announced.
