The second series of award-winning time-travelling comedy Timewasters will start shooting from next week with the series due to air on ITV2 in 2019. The first series was the most watched new comedy in 2017 for 16-24’s on any digital channel in the UK.
Described as ‘a breath of delightful fresh air’ by HEAT and ‘charmingly odd, provocative, stylish and silly’ by SUNDAY TIMES CULTURE, Timewasters has gone from strength to strength since it launched to over 1 million viewers last year.
In 2018, Timewasters was nominated for Best Comedy Series at the BAFTAs and won Daniel Lawrence Taylor the RTS award for Breakthrough Talent as well as a nomination in the same category at the Edinburgh TV Awards (winner to be announced this summer).
In series one, our gang ended up in 1920’s London high-society after getting into a urine-sodden South London lift – that just happened to be a time machine!
This time round our time-travelling jazz band are transported to 1950’s London where the future has arrived: the birth of the teenager, slick-haired Teddy Boys, the vibrant Windrush crowd, box-fresh televisions and – crucially – the dawn of Rock n’ Roll.
The band are back for another spin through time in series two: Daniel Lawrence Taylor (Cockroaches, Uncle) plays Nick, Kadiff Kirwan (Chewing Gum, Crims) plays Jason, Adelayo Adedayo (Skins, Some Girls) as Lauren and Samson Kayo (Famalam, The Javone Prince Show) as Horace.
A host of new stellar talent joins the cast for the second series including BAFTA/Olivier award nominated actress Anna Chancellor (Four Weddings and a Funeral, The Hour), Javone Prince (PhoneShop, The Javone Prince Show), Ellie White (The Windsors) and BAFTA award winning actor Daniel Rigby (Eric & Ernie).
