This Is Jinsy: Kneel, Tennant!

"WHO on earth is this, camping it up in paisley drainpipes, gaudy jacket, platforms and satin shirt?
"Yes, it’s former Doctor Who star David Tennant – who has also gone ginger to play Mr ­Slightlyman, an ­outrageously camp wedding planner with a penchant for plastic surgery, in new TV series This Is Jinsy.
"The British comedy, set on an island full of oddballs, also stars Big Mick, Justin Chubb and Chris Bran, and will be on Sky Atlantic next month."

The Daily Mirror.

A pilot of This Is Jinsy sans Tennant was shown on BBC3 last year to much praise.
The first series will be shown on Sky Atlantic from September.
Tennant is billed in pre-publicity as one of the guest stars.
"Camp" is usually tabloid code for "gay", but who can say?
You also get Harry Hill in drag - here's a rather disturbing photo.
It's directed by the bloke who directed Psychoville.
I know fuck-all else about it at this stage.
Sorry.

  1. It looks dreadful from the trailer.
    One of those shows that tries to be as weird or "eccentric" as possible, but doesn't have much else to it than that.
    Worth checking out, though.
    I didn't even know there was a channel called Sky Atlantic.

    I have nothing else to say on this matter...

  2. That took fucking ages to key in, so I hope it's worth the effort.
