FREE AGENTS - starting 13th Feb on C4

[Gabriella]

This thread is for discussion about Steve's new series Free Agents. Did you see the pilot? Are you excited about the series? Will Anthony Head's character be as filthy as ever?

[Gabriella]

Just thought I should update this thread to say that Free Agents will be on at 10pm on Channel 4 the 13th.

p.s: Check out the behind the scenes vids on the official website!

Thanks for the link Gabriella - I wasn't too keen when I saw the pilot but maybe it will grow on me as a full series - I'll wait and see. . . .M*

This is really worth a look too. Very interesting -always wondered what all those people in the credits did!

Time elapsed since actor Stephen Mangan's last day off: four months

Wow, I hope he had a holiday after that! Thanks for the link Di, it was very interesting.

I was clearing out a load of magazines yesterday and I stumbled across an old issue of the Radio Times (November 2007) I had and found this (click to enlarge)



I don’t know if it's been posted before but I thought I would include it here ;D

Hope that's ok,

Thanks for that Lou - I think I already have that main photo sitting on my hard drive waiting to be uploaded to the gallery, but that 'My Big Break' bit is interesting. I will add it to the Interviews section when I get a chance.

I am so excited to finally see Steve on our screens in a weekly dosage again!
I have set the series to record

[Gabriella]

I know this seems a bit premature seeing as the series hasn't actually started yet, but the DVD of it is apparently coming out on 30th March! See here for more info about the extras:

I quite enjoyed it, but having seen the Pilot I just kind of wanted them to get the introduction to all the characters over and get on with the story! I'm sure next week's will be better. Here's the synopsis:

"Romance is dead, just like my fiancé," says talent agent Helen (Sharon Horgan) as she and on-off lover Alex (Stephen Mangan) contemplate the horrors of Valentine's Day. Tonight in Chris Niel's sweet, occasionally filthy, comedy, Helen posts a positive profile of Alex (user name: Divorced but Hot) on the website Boyfriends with Baggage. The result? He's contacted by a barmy, overbearing and very drunken former flame.

Big Talk Productions have also made a hiliarious viral site of Boyfriends With Baggage:

I'm sure they'll update it some more over the next week!

I really disliked the pilot - not Steve's part in it, of course, he's ace as ever - but mostly Anthony Head's character completely put me off. BUT - I Sky Plus-ed it, watched it last night, and I really enjoyed it! It was much better than the pilot, hung together really well and wasn't as over the top filthy as I remembered. Have now series linked it!

The trailer for Episode 2 is now up - it looks like it's going to be good!
