Roughcut TV has won a series recommission from Channel for a second run of Jack Rooke”s comedy Big Boys.

The series is based on Rooke”s stand-up comedy and centres on the second half of his teenage years. Dylan Llewellyn plays the young Jack, who strikes up an unlikely friendship with the outwardly confident fellow uni student Danny (Jon Pointing).

Rooke said: “The response to Big Boys series 1 has been so phenomenally kind, heartwarming and beyond anything any of us could have hoped for, the fact we got onto Gogglebox is probably the proudest moment of mine and my mum’s lives (she got over 100 likes on Facebook for it!)

“And so after a huge spitroast at Harvester, I decided I probably do have some more embarrassing stories about me & my mates to mine for comic material so get ready for an even more cringe second year at Brent University.”

Ash Atalla, MD Roughcut TV said: “Big Boys comes from the heart and soul of Jack Rooke and we”re so happy to bring it back. We promise more sex, drugs and tears in series 2.”

Atalla and Alex Smith executive produce for Roughcut.
