The secret acting role which Shaun discussed in early March has been announced – a TV show titled “Mr and Mrs Murder”. It’s a comedy/drama to appear on Channel 10 later in the year, and Shaun will star along side Kat Stewart.
A clean freak with a heightened sense of justice, and a misfit with an encyclopaedic knowledge of just about everything, married couple Nicola and Charlie run an extreme cleaning business which specialises in crime scenes. Armed with wit, smarts and the invisibility that cleaning brings, the duo solve the crimes the cops can’t in a murder mystery with a smile.
Shaun isn’t writing the show, but it came from an idea he came up with Jason Stephens, and will consult on the script. The writing team will include John Banas, Jonathan Gavin, John Hugginson, Doug MacLeod, Christine Bartlett, Katherine Thomson, Marieke Hardy and Glen Dolman.
It’s possible Shaun agreed to the fourth season of TAYG partly to ensure the pick-up of this project. Which is a good thing, because that gives us plenty of Shaun for the year!
About to overdose on Shaun this week…meeting him, more on Mad As Hell, Mr and Mrs Murder…
Yay!
Really looking forward to Mr and Mrs Murder airing on TV. And fantastic news that Talking About My Generation is also going to be coming back. I have missed it. Always brilliantly witty – a real gift! Laughter is the best medicine. Thanks Shaun!
The fourth season of TAYG has already been and gone – ‘fraid there will be no more. But we’ve got two different shows to enjoy!
Maaaate you have bloody well done it! I have been following your career since you stared in The Mickey Mouse Club (1945)and have waited all these years for you to try comedy…
All jokes aside, I really think that Mr & Mrs Murder is just so great and you and the whole cast were so good. The writing and comedic tim…ing perfect. By the way I love that you dyed your hair grey…
Best of luck you deserve it, regards Uncle Brian
OH!! sorry I thought I was commenting on Shaun the Sheep…
