Friday Night Dinner, Channel 4’s award winning comedy starring Tamsin Greig, Paul Ritter, Simon Bird, Tom Rosenthal and Mark Heap, is returning for a sixth series.

Written and produced by Robert Popper, the show follows the adventures of the Goodman family and their neighbour Jim (Heap).

Kenton Allen, Big Talk CEO said: “Friday Night Dinner has grown into a monster hit for Channel 4 and it’s incredibly exciting to see the audience growing every season as new viewers fall in love with the antics of the Goodman household.

“It’s also incredible that Robert has singlehandedly written and produced all 31 episodes so far, which must make him one of the most prolific comedy writer/producers working today.

“We’re incredibly grateful to Channel 4 for letting him have another go. Fingers crossed!”

Fiona McDermott, Head of Comedy at Channel 4, said: “We’re delighted that audiences love Friday Night Dinner as much as we do at Channel 4, and are thrilled that it will be returning.

“It’s always brilliant when audiences for a show grow over time and we’re thrilled that more and more people are falling in love with the Goodmans.

“We are so pleased to be making a new series with Robert and Big Talk.”
