On 27th September, a brand-new Sky original comedy drama Sick of It, written by Karl Pilkington and his long-time director / producer Richard Yee, will air on Sky One.
 
In this new series Karl plays Karl, a crotchety cabbie who’s living with his auntie while trying to get over the loss of his long-term girlfriend. His closest mate is his alter ego, an uncensored version of himself who appears only to him and can say exactly what he thinks, without the risk of offending anyone. As Karl muddles through life, desperately trying to get back on track, the voice in his head just can’t seem to shut up. He imparts his wisdom, deals out criticism and shares his rather unorthodox philosophy on life – counsel that often lands Karl in trouble.  
 
Karl Pilkington is best known as the star of the travel documentary series An Idiot Abroad and The Moaning of Life. He started off as a producer on The Ricky Gervais Show on XFM but soon became vocal part of the show and the cult hero of the broadcast. A series of record-breaking podcasts with Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant followed, making Karl into a household name around the world. Karl is also a Sunday Times best-selling author, having written seven books. His new show Sick of It represents a departure from what he has done previously, yet still very familiar for his fans as well.  
 
Richard Yee has worked with Karl over the past 10 years, producing and directing him in An Idiot Abroad and The Moaning of Life. From convincing Karl, to writing in a cloakroom, the Sick of It co-creator, co-writer and director can reveal with Karl how it all came about. 

Sick of It starts Thursday 27 September on Sky One and NOW TV with a double bill from 10pm. Trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgjRdSm_qmI

Sick Of It Full Interview Karl Pilkington and Richard Yee Audio (All Qs)

On 22nd October, My Dinner With Hervé will air on Sky Atlantic and Now TV. Inspired by a real story, My Dinner With Hervé explores the unlikely friendship between struggling journalist Danny Tate (Jamie Dornan) and Hervé Villechaize (Peter Dinklage), the world’s most famous knife-wielding French dwarf actor, as it unfolds over one wild night in L.A. — an encounter that will have life-changing consequences for both. 
 
Director, producer and writer of the movie, Sacha Gervas is British journalist, screenwriter and Independent Spirit Award and Emmy Award-winning director, best known for Anvil: The Story of Anvil, Hitchcock and The Terminal. My Dinner with Herve is based on Sacha’s real-life experience as a young British journalist who conducted the last interview with the infamous French actor Herve Villechaize, 25 years ago.  Villechaize rose to fame as Nick Nack in the 1974 James Bond pic “The Man With the Golden Gun,” before becoming a household name in the ’80s for his work as Tattoo opposite Ricardo Montalbán on “Fantasy Island.” Plagued by mental and physical health problems, the actor was just 50 years old when he committed suicide a week after Gervasi interviewed him. 
 
According to Sacha “I walked into the interview with so many judgements about who Hervé was. I thought ‘Oh, this will be a funny story. What I found though was someone who was dramatically different from how I imagined him to be. Dangerous, complicated, hilarious, incredibly urbane, well-educated — the guy was an unbelievable force of nature”. “He told me the truth of his life story, and no one else knew it,” Gervasi said. “I was his suicide note, and so I had to kind of get it out.”
 
The film also stars: Mireille Enos as Hervé’s long-time girlfriend, Kathy Self; Harriet Walter as Danny’s newspaper editor, Fiona Baskin; Oona Chaplin as Danny’s girlfriend, Katie Nielson; with David Strathairn as Villechaize’s long-time agent, Marty Rothstein; and Andy García as Ricardo Montalban, Villechaize’s Fantasy Island co-star.
