The stage-comedy will be filmed in front of a live studio audience.<\/p>\n<p>The series follows The Cornley Drama Society, a group of actors who may bite off more than they can chew when staging productions like the courtroom drama \u201cA Trial to Watch\u201d and the WWII spy thriller \u201cThe Pilot\u201d (which is not the show\u2019s pilot).<\/p>\n<p>BBC Comedy, Mischief Screen, Big Talk Productions and Lionsgate U.K. will co-produce the series. Lionsgate will sell the show\u2019s global television rights.<\/p>\n<p>Lewis said: \u201cEver since we first began to make things go wrong all the way back in 2012, it has been a dream of ours to bring a series based on this joyful brand of humor to the screen and so when the BBC commissioned <em>The Goes Wrong Show<\/em>, it was a dream come true. We\u2019re so grateful for this incredible opportunity and we can\u2019t wait to get started on making some truly terrible programs. We are still very short on equipment\u2014if you have a camcorder we can borrow (in any condition) please do fax us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shane Allen, controller at BBC Comedy, added: \u201cThe two Christmas specials we\u2019ve backed showed a huge audience appetite for this ensemble\u2019s superbly inventive brand of family-friendly comedy. BBC One has a unique role for viewers as the country\u2019s sole provider of mainstream British comedy, and it\u2019s particularly gratifying to also be the only U.K. broadcaster still flying the flag for the studio sitcom with these fast-rising stars.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BBC One has greenlit the brand-new six-part comedy series The Goes Wrong Show from Mischief Theatre, the U.K.-based comedy ensemble behind The Play That Goes Wrong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1049,"featured_media":9097,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1649,227,1800,1908,1909,1910,1911],"class_list":["post-9096","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bbc-comedy","tag-bbc-one","tag-big-talk-productions","tag-lionsgate-u-k","tag-mischief-screen","tag-mischief-theatre","tag-the-goes-wrong-show"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
