COMMON GROUND concludes with Nell, Ted & Marlon

 

Made by Steve Coogan's Baby Cow stable, Common Ground is a collection of ten 15-minute comedy shorts, each set in a neighbourhood in south London. Having featured Simon Day, Amelia Bullmore, Jessica Hynes and Charles Dance in previous weeks, the series concludes with Nell, Ted and Marlon – Church choir members are delighted when (fictional) former member of garage and hip-hop group So Solid Crew Marlon (Daniel Lawrence Taylor) arrives to give guest lessons at a church choir to spice up their repertoire. However, it quickly descends into a creepy love triangle when Marlon becomes infatuated with Nell (Eri Jackson), striking all the wrong chords with her oddly protective brother / choir master Ted (Danny Morgan)

Written by and starring Daniel Lawrence Taylor, Eri Jackson and Danny Morgan, with One Foot In the Grave actress Annette Crosbie occasionally chiming in with some unexpected filth. Catch it on Monday 4th March at 9pm on Sky Atlantic.
