BBCWW adds Karl Pilkington show

UK prodco Me+You Productions has struck a global distribution deal with BBC Worldwide (BBCWW) for its Karl Pilkington-fronted scripted comedy Sick Of It.

The 6×30′ show, produced by Me+You and Pilkington’s Alrite Productions for Sky1, revolves around a man who must contend with a voice in his head telling him what to do after his girlfriend leaves him.

It stars Pilkington and is being directed by Me+You co-founder Richard Yee, with both attached as writers.

Me+You previously worked with BBCWW on the first two series of The Moaning of Life, the comedy-travel documentary series also produced and directed by Yee and starring Pilkington. That show has since been sold into 189 territories by the UK broadcaster’s commercial arm.
