A TV comedy sitcom filmed on the Isle of Wight heads to BBC Two this week.
The Cockfields, starring Joe Wilkinson, Diane Morgan and Sue Johnston, first aired on the TV channel, Gold, in 2019, but from this Wednesday (22nd March) it will be screened on BBC Two (from 10pm).
Set and filmed on the Isle of Wight, the sitcom was written by Joe Wilkinson and David Earl, who have worked with Diane and Sue before on the series, Rovers, shown on Sky 1 in 2016.
A great cast
In The Cockfields, deadpan comedian Joe Wilkinson plays Simon, an almost 40-year-old planning to take his girlfriend back to the family home on the Island for his birthday celebrations.
Diane (Philomena Cunk in Charlie Brooker’s Newswipe series) plays his girlfriend, Donna.
Whilst Sue Johnston, who needs no introduction, plays Simon’s Mum and Nigel Havers (ditto) plays his Dad.
Catch up
If you’re not able to watch it on Wednesday, you’ll be able to catch up via BBC’s iPlayer, where you can also see dates and times of upcoming episodes.
