SCHITTS CREEK: AWARD WINNING COMEDY HEADS TO DAVE

UKTV's Dave channel is showing the Emmy-winning comedy Schitts Creek, created by Eugene and Dan Levy, from the beginning.

Video store magnate Johnny (Eugene Levy), his wife and soap opera actress Moira (Catherine O'Hara), and their adult children David and Alexis (Dan Levy and Annie Murphy) lose their fortune after being defrauded by their business manager.

They are forced to rebuild their lives with their sole remaining asset: a small town named Schitt's Creek, which Johnny had bought for David as a joke birthday gift in 1991. The Roses relocate to Schitt's Creek, moving into a run-down motel.

As the family adjusts to their new lives, their well-to-do attitudes come into conflict with the more provincial residents of Schitt's Creek, including mayor Roland Schitt (Chris Elliott), his wife Jocelyn (Jennifer Robertson), and motel manager Stevie Budd (Emily Hampshire).

Schitt's Creek begins tonight, Monday 17th July, at 10pm on Dave.
