Sky Atlantic Welcomes New Comedy

A new six-part comedy series, Robin's Test, has been commissioned for Sky Atlantic.

The series will be written and directed by the BAFTA-winning Julia Davis.

The comedy revolves around a group of couples go on a birthday camping trip to Dorset. The planned weekend quickly descends into chaos, however, when party girl Fay (played by Julia Davis) arrives with the newly-separated Tom (Rufus Jones), and the holiday takes a new direction.

Robin's Test stars Julia Davis, Rufus Jones, Vicki Pepperdine, Steve Pemberton, Jonathan Cake, Liz Berrington, and David Bamber, who plays the role of the campsite owner.

Julia Davis said: "I am very, very excited to be making another series for Sky Atlantic thanks to the great creative freedom and support of Zai Bennett and Lucy Lumsden."

Zai Bennett, Director of Sky Atlantic, added: "Known for grown-up storytelling and working with the best in the industry, Sky Atlantic is the perfect home for Julia Davis's sublime work. Alongside drama Sky Atlantic is investing in top flight, cinematic quality comedy and Julia's new series is a great way to start the next year."

Robin's Test is a Baby Cow Production and is produced by Ted Dowd (Moone Boy, Gavin and Stacey, Mid Morning Matters with Alan Partridge).
