PEACOCK: COMEDY SERIES AXED BY BBC, WON'T RETURN FOR A THIRD

The BBC have confirmed that Peacock will not be returning for a third series on BBC Three.

A BBC spokesperson told The Sun newspaper: "We are very proud of Peacock but, in order to make room for new comedy shows, we sometimes have to make difficult decisions and it won't be returning. We would like to thank all those involved in the series and hope to work with the team in the future."

Written by Steve Stamp and Ben Murray, Peacock is the story of Andy, a personal trainer at Sportif Leisure in the midst of an identity crisis. His world is one of selfies, bravado and gym memberships, where vanity and success are often horribly entangled.

When Andy loses out on a job promotion to a younger, better looking PT, he suddenly realises he’s a man out of time. He needs to prove that there’s more to him than his good looks and his well curated dating profile. He sets out to prove that he can be taken seriously. But can he?

Allan ‘Seapa’ Mustafa (People Just Do Nothing) starred as Andy Peacock, Lucien Laviscount (Emily in Paris) as Jay, Thomas Gray (Absolutely Fine) as Spooner, Susan Wokoma (Year of the Rabbit) as Liz, Callie Cooke (The Stranger) as Carly, Mandeep Dhillon (After Life) as Georgia and Sophia Di Martino (Loki) as Blue.

Peacock is available on BBC iPlayer.
