PUSHERS: ROSIE JONES COMEDY AXED BY CHANNEL 4 AFTER ONE SERIES

Channel 4 have axed Pushers, the comedy series written by Rosie Jones and Peter Fellows.

A spokesperson for Channel 4 told The Independent said: "We're so proud of Pushers and would like to thank Rosie Jones, Peter Fellows, 2LE Media and Merman Television for their brilliant and dedicated work on the series...

"We look forward to working together on future projects. Like all broadcasters, we regularly review our programming to ensure we're offering the right range of content for our viewers. This means making difficult decisions on which shows to rest, return or conclude."

Having had her state benefits cut to shreds after being made redundant, a young woman with very little left to lose begins to build an illegal drugs empire. But Emily (Rosie Jones) isn’t your average street-dealing dope peddler – she’s sharp, funny, biting, highly educated – and on top of all that, she has cerebral palsy.

People have underestimated Emily her entire life. If they’re not patronising her for completing the most menial of tasks, they’re pretending she’s not there. What better disguise could there be for criminal activity than to be entirely written off by the same broken system which exists to protect the law? 

Pushers is available now on Channel 4 streaming.
