Sky Atlantic are proud to announce “Robin’s Test” a new comedy written and directed by BAFTA award winner Julia Davis
From the creator of Human Remains, Nighty Night and Hunderby comes this 6 part comedy about a group of couples on a birthday camping trip to Dorset.
The carefully planned weekend quickly unravels once party girl Fay (Julia Davis) arrives with the newly separated Tom (Rufus Jones) and the holiday takes on a whole new direction.
Starring Julia Davis, Rufus Jones (W1A), Vicki Pepperdine (Together) Steve Pemberton (Inside No.9), Jonathan Cake (Doll & Em), Liz Berrington (Stella) all under the curiously watchful eye of campsite owner – David Bamber (Rome).
Julia Davis commented: “I am very, very excited to be making another series for Sky Atlantic thanks to the great creative freedom and support of Zai Bennett and Lucy Lumsden.
Director of Sky Atlantic Zai Bennett commented: “Known for grown-up storytelling and working with the best in the industry, Sky Atlantic is the perfect home for Julia Davis’s sublime work. Alongside drama Sky Atlantic is investing in top flight, cinematic quality comedy and Julia's new series is a great way to start the next year"
Before filming started on this new project Julia Davis wrote and starred in two Hunderby Specials due to be aired on Sky Atlantic in December.
The series is a Baby Cow Production and is produced by Ted Dowd (Moone Boy, Gavin and Stacey, Mid Morning Matters with Alan Partridge). Sky Vision will be the international distributor of Robin’s Test.
