NOW TV & Sky have set a September premiere date for Karl Pilkington’s upcoming scripted comedy-drama ‘Sick Of It‘ it has been announced today.
Most of us know Karl for his grumpy travel docu-series, but now he’s back on Sky One & NOW TV in a brand new scripted comedy, which sees him left with only the voice in his head… ‘Sick of It’ is the first scripted series to be written by Pilkington alongside Richard Yee, his long-time producer and director, and follows his character’s attempts to make sense of the modern world after the loss of his girlfriend.
Now living with his elderly auntie, Karl’s closest companion is Inner Self; the voice in his head who says what he really thinks without the risk of offending others. As Karl attempts to move on from the breakup and sort out his life, the voice in his head appears periodically to guide, criticise and dispense his unorthodox philosophy of life, with some interesting results!
Pilkington first came to prominence as sidekick/producer to Ricky Gervais on his podcast and radio show. This led to Gervais and Stephen Merchant sending him around the world in travel comedy series ‘An Idiot Abroad’, and the documentary series ‘The Moaning of Life’. He then made his first move into acting in Gervais’s comedy series ‘Derek’.
‘Sick Of It‘ comes to NOW TV and Sky One on Thursday, 27th September 2018 (exact time TBC).
