Vicious

• Original producer: Brown Eyed Boy
• Original broadcaster: ITV

The brilliantly funny comedy for is a studio sitcom starring Ian McKellen (The Lord of the Rings) and Derek Jacobi (The King’s Speech), joined by Frances de la Tour (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) and Iwan Rheon (Game of Thrones).

Vicious tells the story of partners Freddie (Ian McKellen) and Stuart (Derek Jacobi), two men who have lived together in a small central London flat for nearly 50 years. Constantly picking each other apart and holding on to petty slights for decades, we can still see that underneath all their vicious co-dependent fighting they have a deep love for each other.Into their world steps a young man, Ash (Iwan Rheon), as their new upstairs neighbour. Joining Freddie and Stuart is feisty best friend Violet (Frances de la Tour), young at heart and with a deliciously dry sense of humour.
