EXCLUSIVE: The BBC has greenlit a comedy-drama about a Canadian tetraplegic moving to London from Stath Lets Flats producer Roughcut TV in association with Village Roadshow Television.
In the Catastrophe-esque We Might Regret This, Freya, played by the show’s co-writer Kyla Harris, moves to the English capital to live with Abe (Killing Eve and Smack the Pony’s Darren Boyd). Abe thinks he’s an old dog that can learn new tricks but Freya requires constant PAs who are always present and, after failing to find the right person for this intimate role, invites chaotic and impulsive best friend Jo (Elena Saurel) to take the job.

BBC Comedy Commissioning Director Jon Petrie said: “Kyla and Lee have created something special, and we look forward to seeing them bring this incredibly personal, funny story to life.”
Roughcut has had success in recent years with BAFTA-winning hits including Stath Lets Flats and Big Boys, both for Channel 4. The producer most recently landed a separate BBC order for family comedy Things You Should Have Done, while it has been shopping Jamie Demetriou’s Stathto U.S. networks.

When asked if he had any concerns about what effect playing Iron Man for 11 years might have on his acting, Downey Jr. replied: “Yes. 100%, and I knew there was a point where Christopher Nolan was endorsing, let’s work those other muscles, but let’s do it while rendering you devoid of your usual go-to things.”

, know that zodiac compatibility goes much deeper than just looking at your sun sign compatibility.

Actor in a Drama Series increased from 94 last year to 102 this year, and Emmy rules say that gender-divided categories should have parity in the number of nominees, which will keep the guest actress category at six.Overall, more than half the categories that are shrinking in size this year are specifically devoted to comedy – and others, including Character Voice-Over Performance and Sound Editing and Sound Mixing for a Comedy or Drama Series (Half Hour) and Animation, are dominated by comedic shows.Other categories that are slated to shrink include Outstanding Reality Competition Program and Host for a Reality or Reality Competition Program, both of which are dropping from six nomination slots to five, as well as Main Title Design, Music Supervision and Original Music and Lyrics.Only a handful of categories are in line to grow in size, including Variety Special (Pre-Recorded), Scripted Variety Series (which has different qualifying requirements this year) and Directing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie.Overall, more than half the Emmys’ 120 categories had fewer entries than they did last year, while only 30 had more entries. But in most cases, the change in the number of entries was not enough to trigger a change in the number of nominees.(Note: While the Emmy rules set the number of nominees by the number of contenders, several categories each year will end up with more or fewer nominees because of ties.)The result of this year’s submissions will make some of the comedy races even more competitive than they already were.
