Filming has begun on Sunshine, a three-part BBC comedy drama which will be shown on BBC One in autumn 2008.
Sunshine has been co-written by Craig Cash and Phil Mealey, the team behind the BBC’s hit comedy Early Doors, and co-writers of the BAFTA Award-winning Royle Family – Queen Of Sheba.
Starring Steve Coogan (I’m Alan Partridge, Saxondale), Bernard Hill (Lord Of The Rings) and Lisa Millett (Drop Dead Gorgeous, Blackpool), Sunshine is the bittersweet story of three generations of the Crosby family.
Bing has been fascinated with gambling since he was a child. Bernadette was his childhood sweetheart and, in spite of his addiction, they have become a couple. The family is completed by their young son Joe and Bing’s father George.
The relationship between grandson and grandad is a golden one, based on absolute trust and mutual affection.
However when Bing’s gambling spirals out of control and his losses reach unsustainable levels, the only things left to lose are Bernadette and George.
Suffused with warmth and laughter, Sunshine is above all a heart-warming story about how when you reach rock bottom the only thing that matters are the people you love.
