When the effects of the coronavirus pandemic struck in March, they were called in to help deliver food and essentials to members of the community around South East London. While doing the rounds, Pointing filmed his visits to the local shops and socially-distant doorstep drop-offs in character as &#8220;Bradley from Bromley.&#8221; <em>Key Worker<\/em> is the self-shot comedy series that resulted, following a twenty-something who finds a new purpose in life.<\/p>\n<p>The first three episodes of <em>Key Worker<\/em> are available now via the Mr Box YouTube Channel. The final episode will be released on May 19.<\/p>\n<p>Pointing said: \u201cJust before the lockdown I\u2019d been testing out the character of Bradley at gigs. His heart is in the right place\u2014he\u2019s a bit of an idiot at times but a well-meaning one. He\u2019s never made much of a life but lockdown has forced something of a level playing field on society and for some reason he finds himself flourishing in the most unlikely of situations. I wanted to make a character that people would enjoy spending time with. It feels sweeter than the sort of thing I would normally do\u2014I think the reality of the situation dictated that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Steve Coogan, creative director at Baby Cow Productions, said: \u201cWe&#8217;re really proud of <em>Key Worker<\/em> at Baby Cow. It\u2019s warm, funny and beautifully observed. Jon Pointing&#8217;s created in Bradley an unlikely hero for these strange times.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baby Cow Productions has rolled out Key Worker, an original online comedy series self-shot by Jon Pointing (Plebs, Pls Like) while volunteering for a local food bank.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":10266,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[605,2439],"class_list":["post-10265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-baby-cow-productions","tag-key-worker"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Self-Shot Lockdown Comedy from Baby Cow - TVEUROPE<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/05\/15\/baby-cow-unveils-comedy-series-key-worker\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Self-Shot Lockdown Comedy from Baby Cow - TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Baby Cow Productions has rolled out Key Worker, an original online comedy series self-shot by Jon Pointing (Plebs, Pls Like) while volunteering for a local food bank.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/05\/15\/baby-cow-unveils-comedy-series-key-worker\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-05-15T15:26:30+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-05-15T15:35:55+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/07\/Key-Worker-babycow-0520.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"338\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/05\/15\/baby-cow-unveils-comedy-series-key-worker\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/05\/15\/baby-cow-unveils-comedy-series-key-worker\/\",\"name\":\"Self-Shot Lockdown Comedy from Baby Cow - TVEUROPE\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-05-15T15:26:30+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-05-15T15:35:55+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/05\/15\/baby-cow-unveils-comedy-series-key-worker\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/05\/15\/baby-cow-unveils-comedy-series-key-worker\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/05\/15\/baby-cow-unveils-comedy-series-key-worker\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Self-Shot Lockdown Comedy from Baby Cow\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\",\"name\":\"TVEUROPE\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
