5th May 2008 ~ Olivia has begun filming a new BBC2 sitcom along with Meera Syal called 'Beautiful people'
Meera Syal is teaming up with Peep Show star Olivia Colman in Syal's first comedy role since The Kumars At No 42.
Beautiful People goes into production for transmission later this year on BBC2.
The show is set in 1997 and is centred around an eccentric family.
Colman plays a mother called Debbie, described by the BBC as "a whirlwind of matriarchal warmth in killer heels".
Syal plays family lodger, blind Aunty Hayley.
Based on the childhood memoirs of window-dresser extraordinaire and writer Simon Doonan, the sitcom follows his childhood reminiscences of escaping suburban Reading to live amongst the Beautiful People, the BBC said.
But this is before coming to the realisation that true beauty is closer than we think.
Alongside Syal and Colman, the cast includes Aidan McArdle, Layton Williams and Samuel Barnett.
And Luke Ward-Wilkinson from Wild At Heart plays a 13-year-old boy called Simon, who along with best friend Kyle cannot open a fridge door without belting out a show tune.
The series is written by Gimme Gimme Gimme writer Jonathan Harvey.
