CHANGING ENDS: FIRST LOOK AND CASTING CONFIRMED FOR SECOND SERIES OF ALAN CARR COMEDY

After its success last year, becoming the biggest comedy ever on ITVX with 6.5 million streams, Alan Carr’s semi autobiographical comedy is back for series two.

The 6 x 30 second series will again be made by multi award winning Baby Cow Productions (Gavin & Stacey, Alan Partridge). The show will simultaneously drop as a full series box set on ITVX and air weekly on ITV1 primetime.

Reprising their roles as the Carr family for a new run of episodes are Oliver Savell (young Alan), Shaun Dooley (Graham Carr), Nancy Sullivan (Christine Carr) and Taylor Fay (Gary Carr).

Also returning are the Carr’s neighbours, the Hudsons, played by Gabby Best (Angela Hudson), Harry Peacock (Nigel Hudson) and Rourke Mooney (Charlie Hudson).

Changing Ends is based on Alan’s own life in Northampton in the 1980s growing up as the son of a fourth division football manager.

The second season picks up shortly after the first, as young Alan contends with impending puberty and feeling sidelined by his family. With Graham Carr distracted by Northampton Town FC who are battling for promotion can he be there for his son when he most needs him?

The series is produced by Baby Cow Productions, written by Alan Carr, co-written by Gabby Best and was co-created by the late Simon Carlyle.
