***Exciting news*** Friday Night Dinner returns in 2012 for a second series.

Friday Night Dinner is a six part comedy series for Channel 4, written and produced by Robert. Directed by Steve (League of Gentlemen, Royle Family, Little Britain) Bendelack. Friday Night Dinner stars Tamsin Greig, Paul Ritter, Simon Bird, Tom Rosenthal and Mark Heap.

The show follows 20-something brothers, Adam and Jonny, as they go home each Friday night for a Jewish family meal of soup, chicken and crumble. But basically it’s about reverting to being 13 again as soon as you go back to your parents, how dads all go a bit odd once they hit a certain age, and what it’s like to have a neighbour who’s terrfied of his own dog.

    Love the series. Wish we had this type of quality series in America. Great thought out comedy. I’m happy for your comedy and BBC America for showing the series in the US. Could I submit some writing to you and get some feedback from you, Mr. Popper, master of laughs?

    So has Martin been forgiven yet for accidentally burning Val’s dress on the bonfire?  And not burning his copies of NEW SCIENTIST?  (my dad used to hoard old copies of SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN in the same way.  We were still throwing out copies from 1967 after he died . . .)

    What a refreshing show!  I really can’t stand American TV comedies and just love this show on BBC America.  I have loved Mark Heap since Big Train.  Thank you for making me laugh every Friday night with your show!!
