Graham Linehan & Adam Buxton captain new Channel 4 comedy pilot

Channel 4 has commissioned a non-TX pilot of The Cloud, a Graham Linehan (Father Ted, The IT Crowd) and Adam Buxton (Adam & Joe, The Persuasionists) penned sitcom set on a data-hub floating about earth. The Cloud has been commissioned by Nerys Evans, Deputy Head Of Comedy at Channel 4.

The job of Cloud Station 13 is to protect the vast amounts of information the human population now hoards on its endless devices – the majority of which comprises of selfies, copious pictures of kittens and a lot of porn. The disparate group who man the hub are anything but technical whizzes; which would matter less if technology – including a largely voice activated ship - was a little more reliable.

Filming in Spring 2015, the cast comprises of Adam Buxton, Ashling Bea (Trollied, Dead Boss, British Comedy Award Winner for Best Female TV Comic) and Jamie Demetriou (The Midnight Beast, Cockroaches) and the Producer/Director is Richard Boden (The IT Crowd, The Walshes.)
