19/03/2012 In late April 2012,
Sky 1 HD will introduce the STARLINGS. Written by and starring Matt King (Peep Show) and Steve Edge (Star Stories), comedy drama STARLINGS will also star BAFTA® nominees Brendan Coyle (Downton Abbey) and Lesley Sharp (Scott & Bailey).
The series is available to sponsor now with Sky Media.
STARLINGS will follow the lives of the Starlings family, a typical working class brood living in a detached house in Matlock, Derbyshire. Grandad (Alan Williams, Luther) has recently moved in, following a rabble rousing incident at the old folks' home. Rather than see him unhappy, his son Terry (Coyle) and wife Jan (Sharp), decide to put him up in their already crammed family home.
Making room for him is Charlie (Finn Atkins, EastEnders), their 16 year old football crazy tomboy daughter; work-shy, reptile enthusiast, Gravy (John Dagleish, Beaver Falls) and beautiful Bell (Rebecca Night, Larkrise to Candleford) and her brand new baby, Zac, who arrives bang on time for the first episode. Then there's Bell's ex-boyfriend, Reuben (Ukweli Roach, Eternal Law) desperate to get back together with her.
Uncle Loz (King), Grandad's long lost son, is the artist of the family. Last but not least, Jan's nephew, Fergie (Edge) who offers to bivouac in the garden, after being made homeless when his long suffering partner chucks him out.
