Description
Shiny Button for BBC One
King Gary is a larger than life working-class sitcom with a big heart from the creative team behind the BAFTA award winning Murder in Successville. The series is written by Tom Davies and James De Frond. It stars Davis as the lead and the series is directed by De Frond.
Our story follows childhood sweethearts Gary and Terri and their aspirations to achieve social acceptance and moderate material success in competitive suburbia. This, accompanied by drama queen Gary’s constant striving to impress his old school dad, Big Gary, and attempting to fill his big boots, equals a massive ‘try hard’ wally.
A study of how the small things in life can be blown up to absurd proportions as the pressures of the modern world spiral out of control. A big comedy about life’s small and often petty dramas.
In this second season, there’s lots going on in the Kings’ world - Gary and Terri have a wedding to plan, and a nasty new neighbour threatens to disturb the peace and quiet of Butterchurn Crescent.
