Danny Dyer stars alongside creator and writer Ryan Sampson in Mr Bigstuff, which has now been recommissioned for a second series.
Danny Dyer may be better known these days as Mick Carter in EastEnders, but before that, he’d been a steady presence in British film for over two decades, from his debut in Justin Kerrigan’s Human Traffic through The Football Factory and Severance.
The one thing Dyer had never done was lead a sitcom – until now. Mr Bigstuff is created and written by Ryan Sampson, who’s perhaps best known for starring alongside Nicholas Lyndhurst and Celia Imrie in BBC sitcom After You’ve Gone, and for co-starring in ITV2 sitcom Plebs.
The synopsis for Mr Bigstuff reads as follows:
Mr Bigstuff explores broken families, fragile masculinity and carpet sales. It tells the story of two estranged brothers; Glen (Ryan Sampson), a nervy perfectionist striving to live the suburban...

Danny Dyer returns to our screens in the new Sky comedy series Mr. Bigstuff, playing mischievous troublemaker Lee Campbell. Lee suddenly reemerges in the life of his straight-laced brother Glen, played by creator Ryan Sampson, dropping his trademark chaos into the quiet suburban routine Glen has settled into.
Living with fiancée Kirsty and working at the local carpet shop, Glen’s world is turned upside down by the arrival of his long-estranged sibling. Lee seems to live by his own unpredictable code, gallivanting around in outlandish outfits one moment and picking fights with strangers the next. His motivations for seeking out Glen are initially unclear.
Across six half-hour episodes, the show follows the odd couple brothers as their personalities clash and lives collide in comedic fashion. Dyer leans into his rule-breaking reputation to play Lee as an unapologetic livewire, a stark contrast to Glen’s predictable nine-to-five existence. The chemistry...

Danny Dyer is a national treasure, with his own unique sensibilities as a performer – so it’s no surprise that Ryan Sampson wrote this role, in new comedy show Mr. Bigstuff, just for him. To mark the show’s launch – which is available on Sky Max and streaming service Now from July 17 – we had the pleasure in sitting down with the duo, who play brothers in this entertaining and thrilling new series.
Sampson talks about setting his comedic tone and on writing the role of his older brother for Dyer, while the actor speaks to the brilliance of the script and how pleased he is when scripts of this nature come his way. We then discuss him leaving Eastenders and how that has opened his career up again – and we can’t help but ask about the challenges in not swearing on the soap-opera.

Danny Dyer is working-class actor with royal blood in his veins, a tough guy in a pink dressing gown, a tearaway who’s embraced family life… He talks about where it all went right
It’s a beautiful day in Essex and I’m making myself at home with the Dyers. Theirs is a neat house on a hill, furnished in white and grey with a vast marble kitchen island and a bulldog called Debbie. And, no offence, but my God Debbie is large. The width and girth of a coffee table, she lumbers affectionately across the tiles towards Jo, Dyer’s partner of more than 30 years, elegant in white as she mourns a missing T-shirt, and their teenage daughter Sunnie, who sweeps through to grab a bottle of water on her way to college. Artie, who’s 10, is at school and their eldest daughter, Dani, is in Germany with her three children,...

As buyers touch down at Lax for the annual LA Screenings, it will be a case of a return to the norm following the unusual circumstances of last year. The Hollywood labor strikes not only threw confusion on what would be a realistic purchase, but also stopped acquisitions executives getting face time (and a quick selfie) with acting and writing talent — something many value as part of their buying process.
There will be no such issues this year, and the studio sales bosses are relishing a return to the norm. “We’re really excited, it feels like we’re really back after the strikes and firing on all cylinders,” says David Decker, President of Content Sales for Warner Bros. Discovery (Wbd). “We have an abundance of titles that run the gamut of broadcast and streaming in drama and comedy. We’ll be showing the best of what Wbd stands for.

The series stars actor Danny Dyer, best known for his various "tough guy" roles like Moff in Human Traffic, Tommy Johnson in The Football Factory, and Mick Carter in Eastenders.

Adam Levine joined the “Morning Mash Up” on SiriusXM Hits 1 (Ch. 2) to talk about Maroon 5’s upcoming music plans.
“I would say, of all the times I’ve had to say exactly what I’m about to say about making a music and making a record — we’re definitely making a record, we’re definitely making new music,” Adam revealed. “And the cool thing is that I really, after 12-13 years of doing co-writes, I finally have shut everybody out, and it’s just me and the band making the songs. So there’s no more of that.”
The new record will be the band’s first since Jordi (2021), which debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 chart and included the singles “Memories” and “Beautiful Mistakes.” This year, Maroon 5 continues their “M5LV” Las Vegas residency throughout May, June, September, and October.

The Frankenstein Chronicles feat. Sean Bean sets up some juicy complications in this week's murky William Blake-themed episode...
London, 1827 – Day
Officer John Marlott and his boss Sir Robert Peel are standing by the capital’s latest crime scene: another mutilated and stitched body has washed up on the bank of the Thames.
Sir Robert Peel
I don’t want any mistakes on this case, Marlott. I’m gonna be watching you so close you’ll think we’ve been stitched together.
Peel stalks away, leaving Marlott gazing into the grey city gloom.
John Marlott
Okay, Sir Robert…
Marlott turns and puts on an era-appropriate hat.
John Marlott
…suture self.
The Who
*Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh*
The 19th century London locale still doesn’t look like CSI: Miami’s beaches, and John Marlott – seeking the one “out there doin’ murders” – sure ain’t Horatio Caine. It’s all grit in this cop show/Frankenstein riff,...

Naughty Plebs favourtie Ryan Sampson is going to spend autumn pulling off some crazy pranks for ITV2.
Sampson and an ensemble of rising comedy stars will rope the public into taking part in bizarre (and totally fake) reality shows for the new sketch series Glitchy.
Unsuspecting passers-by on the streets will become the stars of phoney competitions like Britain and Ireland's Next Top Hand Model, Date My Daughter and 24 Hours in a Phone Box - and surely embarrass themselves along the way.
An unlucky few might even have an unwelcome encounter with Memzo, a petty thief-turned-creepy street magician.
"I'm beyond excited that ITV have let us loose, giving our own twisted take on all of our favourite TV shows," Sampson said. "It's going to be brilliant. And weird. And weirdly brilliant!"
His revolving cast of co-conspirators includes Ellie White (House of Fools), Gabby Best (Top Coppers), Colin Hoult (Derek), Mona Yousefi...

The musical version of James Jones's army novel is executed with skill – but you're left wondering, why make it now?
"Highly professional". Those are the words that come to mind watching this new musical, based on James Jones's 800-page novel about life on a Hawaiian army base in the runup to the attack on Pearl Harbour in December 1941.
But, for all the dedication of the creative team, which includes Tim Rice as lyricist, Stuart Brayson as composer and Bill Oakes as bookwriter, one is left asking two questions: why now, and what does music add to the story?
The first question is the harder to answer. In Oakes's version, the story is certainly a lot grittier than in the 1953 Fred Zinnemann movie as it follows the intertwined fortunes of three soldiers.
