Flowers Press Pack

Monday, 25th April sees the launch of Channel 4’s innovative new 6x30 comedy-drama starring Olivia Colman (The Night Manager, Broadchurch) and Julian Barratt (The Mighty Boosh, Nathan Barley) and written and directed by BAFTA-nominated Will Sharpe (Black Pond).

The six-part series will run over the course of a single week, with the first two episodes running back-to-back as a double bill from 10pm on 25th April and then running an episode per night until the finale on Friday, 29th April.

Flowers is an imaginative, cinematic show about an eccentric and dysfunctional family struggling to hold themselves together. Maurice (Barratt), the author of illustrated children’s books The Grubbs, and music teacher wife Deborah (Colman) are barely together, but yet to divorce. As Maurice fights inner demons and dark secrets, Deborah tries to keep the family together at all costs and becomes increasingly suspicious that Maurice is in a secret homosexual relationship with his Japanese illustrator Shun (played by show creator Will Sharpe).
