The pilot was broadcast on BBC One in December 2018. The series follows Gary King (Davis) and the love of his life Terri (Laura Checkley; <em>The Detectorists<\/em>) as they bowl through family life in suburbia.<\/p>\n<p>Also returning to the cast are Simon Day (<em>The Fast Show<\/em>) as Big Gary, Camille Coduri (<em>Him &amp; Her<\/em>) as Denise, Neil Maskell as Winkle (<em>Humans<\/em>) and Romesh Ranganathan (<em>The Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan<\/em>) as Stuart. They will be joined by Dustin Demri-Burns (<em>Stath Lets Flats<\/em>), Lisa McGrillis (<em>Mum<\/em>), Mim Shaikh (Radio 1Xtra) and Emma Sidi (<em>Pls Like<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>The 6&#215;30-min. series, which is produced by Shiny Button Productions, part of Endemol Shine UK, starts production this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Shane Allen, controller of comedy commissioning for the BBC, said: \u201c<em>King Gary<\/em> is big on laughs, big on heart and big on talent. Landing a mainstream family sitcom with a modern tone is a tough nut to crack but these scripts are bursting with great lines and well-earned set pieces. We look forward to Gary and Terri bringing cheer to a year of bafflement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Davis added: \u201cJames and I are honored to be given the opportunity to bring the world we\u2019ve grown up around to BBC One. We were both blown away with the tip top response to the pilot and can\u2019t wait to get cracking with the series. We love writing these characters and it\u2019s going to be an absolute joy to muck about in their world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The family sitcom King Gary, from the BAFTA-winning team behind Murder in Successville,<br \/>\nhas landed a straight-to-series commission from BBC One.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1049,"featured_media":9379,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[227,2041],"class_list":["post-9378","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bbc-one","tag-king-gary"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>King Gary Gets BBC One Commission - 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\/2019\/06\/14\/king-gary-gets-bbc-one-commission\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"King Gary Gets BBC One Commission - TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The family sitcom King Gary, from the BAFTA-winning team behind Murder in Successville, has landed a straight-to-series commission from BBC One.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/06\/14\/king-gary-gets-bbc-one-commission\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-06-14T14:36:54+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-06-14T16:38:18+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/07\/King-Gary-BBC-One-619.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"320\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"212\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alison Skilton\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alison Skilton\" \/>\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\/2019\/06\/14\/king-gary-gets-bbc-one-commission\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/06\/14\/king-gary-gets-bbc-one-commission\/\",\"name\":\"King Gary Gets BBC One Commission - TVEUROPE\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-06-14T14:36:54+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-06-14T16:38:18+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/f590d4d1481b8cce2a066e89197c7550\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/06\/14\/king-gary-gets-bbc-one-commission\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/06\/14\/king-gary-gets-bbc-one-commission\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/06\/14\/king-gary-gets-bbc-one-commission\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"King Gary Gets BBC One Commission\"}]},{\"@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\/f590d4d1481b8cce2a066e89197c7550\",\"name\":\"Alison Skilton\",\"description\":\"Alison Skilton is an associate editor of World Screen.
