As life becomes increasingly fraught, she develops bizarre and inexplicable magical powers.<\/p>\n<p><em>Please Help Me<\/em>, which has just finished filming on location in Oxfordshire, also stars Anna Calder-Marshall, Harry Peacock, David Mumeni and Edward Bluemel and will be broadcast later this year on BBC Three on BBC iPlayer. Ben Mallaby directs.<\/p>\n<p>Lucy Pearman said: \u201cI\u2019m very excited and also scared to be writing and creating a project for the BBC with Tiger Aspect. I can\u2019t believe how much admin is involved in making 15 minutes of TV, but I\u2019m having the time of my life. I\u2019ve got an amazing cast and crew and I finally get to work with a Shetland pony, what more could a girl ask for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>David Simpson, head of Tiger Aspect Comedy, said: \u201cLucy is a true original. Her script is brilliantly crafted and simultaneously warm and charming and wildly funny. We can\u2019t wait for people to see it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ben Caudell, commissioning editor for the BBC, said: \u201cLucy is an absurdist auteur who has given us a thrilling slice of comic magic realism that defies categorization, even though I just called it comic magic realism. It\u2019s been an absolute joy to be tangentially involved with it, not least because I get to send emails where the subject line is \u2018PLEASE HELP ME\u2019 and it be a straightforward work email rather than my regular desperate cry for urgent assistance.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please Help Me, a 15-minute comedy special from Banijay UK\u2019s Tiger Aspect Comedy, is set to launch on BBC Three.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":11000,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[2659,115,2660,2661],"class_list":["post-10999","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-banijay-uk","tag-bbc-three","tag-please-help-me","tag-tiger-aspect-comedy"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Please Help Me Coming to BBC Three - 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\/2021\/05\/14\/please-help-me-coming-to-bbc-three\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Please Help Me Coming to BBC Three - TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Please Help Me, a 15-minute comedy special from Banijay UK\u2019s Tiger Aspect Comedy, is set to launch on BBC Three.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2021\/05\/14\/please-help-me-coming-to-bbc-three\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-05-14T14:45:06+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-05-14T15:09:54+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/07\/please-help-me-bbc-three-521.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"375\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\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=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2021\/05\/14\/please-help-me-coming-to-bbc-three\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2021\/05\/14\/please-help-me-coming-to-bbc-three\/\",\"name\":\"Please Help Me Coming to BBC Three - TVEUROPE\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2021-05-14T14:45:06+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-05-14T15:09:54+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2021\/05\/14\/please-help-me-coming-to-bbc-three\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2021\/05\/14\/please-help-me-coming-to-bbc-three\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2021\/05\/14\/please-help-me-coming-to-bbc-three\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Please Help Me Coming to BBC Three\"}]},{\"@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.
