BRAIN IN GEAR: NEW COMEDY SERIES FROM GBEMISOLA IKUMELO COMES TO BBC TWO AND iPLAYER

New comedy series Brain In Gear is coming to BBC Two later this year after its 2019 BBC Comedy Short which led to a Bafta nomination for best short form programme.



Written by and starring Gbemisola Ikumelo, Brain In Gear is a flat-share comedy where the nightmare tenants...are the voices in your head. The series follows Remi, a perfectly normal if somewhat anxious single woman in her late twenties, trying her best to navigate the contradictory advice from her inner thoughts.



The series, which was first announced in 2020, will continue the story of Remi as she attempts to get on with her life… but otherwise normal tasks like going to work and hanging out are made near impossible by the constant interruptions of her two alter egos Boss Bitch Remi and Dark Remi.


Gbemisola Ikumelo says: “This is a legit dream coming true moment for me and I keep finding myself asking: 'Did the BBC actually just give me my own show?' I’m sure It will sink in soon enough, but for now I’m just revelling in all of the exciting possibilities that are presented by this becoming a series.”




BBC's Head Of Comedy, Shane Allen said in 2020: “This highly distinctive concept is ripe with comic potential and Gbemisola has fast become one of the leading comedy performers of her generation. Her range of characters is a joy to behold and we’re proud to see her spread her considerable talent wings as creator, writer and co-director of this very special mini-series.”


Transmission details will be announced in due course.
