"We don't run from our problems." Sky TV has revealed an official UK trailer for a comedy series titled Mr. Bigstuff, arriving to watch in the UK starting this July (though no US launch yet). The series stars actor Danny Dyer, best known for his various "tough guy" roles like Moff in Human Traffic, Tommy Johnson in The Football Factory, and Mick Carter in Eastenders. When two estranged brothers Glen (Ryan Sampson) and Lee (Danny Dyer) find themselves under one roof in "idyllic" suburbia, their lives start to unravel faster than a cheap carpet. Glen is a nervy perfectionist and carpet salesman striving to live a suburban ideal and Lee is an alpha male with a prescription drug addiction and a tin full of their dad's ashes. Written & created by Ryan Sampson, this "relatable, irreverent comedy about brotherhood, manhood and carpet sales" is set in Essex. Also with Harriet Webb, Adrian Scarborough, Fatiha El Ghorri, Ned Dennehy, Victoria Alcock, Geoff Bell, Nitin Ganatra, Judi Love, and more. This looks like kooky, wacky fun! Check it out.

Here's the main official UK trailer for Sky TV's series Mr. Bigstuff, direct from Sky's YouTube:

The six-part comedy explores broken families, fragile masculinity and carpet sales. It tells the story of two estranged brothers; Glen a nervy perfectionist striving to live the suburban ideal and Lee an alpha male with a prescription drug addiction and biscuit tin full of his Dad's ashes. Glen and his fiancée share a perfect, perfectly mundane life together. Sure, Glen's got crippling erectile dysfunction and Kirsty has a secret shoplifting habit, but they're happy. That is until Lee comes crashing into their lives, whilst on the run from a past that's quickly catching up. The trio are forced together: a perfectionist, a fantasist and an anarchist all living under the same roof in an Essex cul-de-sac. It's not long before their "perfect" lives start to unravel faster than a cheap carpet. Mr. Bigstuff is a series created and written by British comedian / writer / actor Ryan Sampson, also a writer on the series "Glitchy" and "Waiting" previously. Featuring episodes directed by Matt Lipsey ("Inside No. 9", "Deep Heat", "Ted Lasso"). Produced by Hayley Sterling for Sky Studios. Executive produced by Matt Lipsey, Anil Gupta, Tom Miller, Sam Myer. Sky TV will debut the Mr. Bigstuff series in the UK starting July 2024. No US release date has been set yet. Look any good?
