He has become a BBC3 comic staple, but now Will Mellor is making the move to BBC One in a new six-part comedy. The star of Two Pints and White Van Man will forces with Warren Clarke, Niky Wardley and Craig Parkinson for the new show, due to air on the channel later this year.
Called ‘In With The Flynns’, the show will focus on what real family life is like when you’re holding down jobs, raising three kids and having to deal with an irresponsible brother and cantankerous dad.
In With The Flynns is a warm, authentic, half-hour comedy series made by Caryn Mandabach Productions for BBC One. Will Mellor and Niky Wardley play Liam and Caroline Flynn, Mancunians in their early thirties who are raising their three children and holding down jobs. It’s tough – and even tougher because they’re still growing up themselves.
They are blessed with a rebellious teenage daughter, Chloe, and two younger sons; Mikey, who’s always up for a lark, and Steve who definitely isn’t.
Liam and Caroline both find that trying to be a good parent is a minefield of dilemmas and blunders – but help is at hand, albeit in the form of Liam’s wayward brother Tommy (Craig Parkinson), who never ceases to complicate matters, and their grouchy dad Jim (Warren Clarke), who believes they’ll never be as good as he was at parenting. Both are on hand to offer advice which often ends in disaster.
Will Mellor says: “I had a great time working on In With The Flynns with a fantastic cast. I can’t wait to see what the public thinks of it.”
White Van Man concludes its six part run tomorrow night on BBC3.
