Outrageous new sketch show Tittybangbang polarised critical response on its first outing as a one-off programme this autumn. Now the all-female roster of brand new comedy talent features in a debut six-part series to be screened from 10 January on BBC THREE.This bizarre, manic and outrageous collection of women including an exhibitionist cleaning lady ('don't look at me!'), Maxine Bendix the plastic slapper, a team of quivering darters, balding, frustrated bachelor Don Peacock and naked needle-pointers will be joined by an equally eclectic range of new characters: fighting OAP Mrs. Baxter, Stella the market thief and would-be lady's man Pete Wade, a salesman who displays far more than he should to his customers.
Tittybangbang is performed by LUCY MONTGOMERY and DEBBIE CHAZEN, with LORRAINE CHESHIRE, SHELLEY LONGWORTH, VELILE TSHABALALA, KATY BRAND and TONY WAY.The pilot version of Tittybangbang, broadcast in September, achieved one of BBC Three's highest ratings for a new comedy show - more than doubling the channel's average audience share.Written by newcomer Jill Parker and produced by Lisa Clark, Tittybangbang is a Pett production for BBC THREE.
The Italian LadyAn extremely shy cleaning lady working at a National Trust property who will do anything to get attention. 'Don't look at me, I'm shy!'
The Twitching Darters
Paula, the proud captain of Scorton Ladies' Darts Team, is a highly competitive sportswoman. Sadly her prowess on the ochey is hampered by her nervous twitch and jealous streak. 'Right there!'
Maxine Bendix
32, single, Maxine has undergone extensive cosmetic surgery. Her face is full of collagen and botox, her breasts are pumped with silicone, her tummy has been stapled and tucked and her bottom has been vacuumed to within an inch of its life. Much of this work has been done on the cheap and now she leaks from her key areas at the most inappropriate times and places. 'Don't worry, it's just a little bit of seepage.'
Pete Wade
Pete is the senior sales assistant at Pinnacle Spas and a would-be lady's man. Parading around his hot tub concession wearing only a very small, very tight pair of Speedos, Pete displays far more than his customers really wish to see.
The Harrogate Ladies
These menopausal ladies meet every week to work on their patchwork quilts, and enjoy the sound of The Carpenters. What makes them unusual is that they do it whilst naked from the waist down. 'More Carpenters, ladies?'
Don Peacock
Balding, lonely bachelor Don lingers in his grim bedsit desperate to fulfil his personal fantasy to a succession of unwitting and unwilling lady visitors. 'And all that and everything changes but you.'
Mrs. Baxter
Mrs. Baxter wants a fight and she wants it now. This genteel-looking, middle-aged lady will not take no for an answer and doesn't stop until her confused victims agree to give in. 'I want to have a fight and I want that fight to start now!'
Parker & Harris
Perverted pathologist Susan Parker and her heavy-breathing assistant Ms. Harris are always first on the scene of a serious crime. However, solving the crime is the last thing on their minds … as Parker reveals she simply 'cannot resist a stiffy.'
The Shut Up Family
They may be 2:4, but they're not normal. Mum, dad and their daughters enjoy nothing better than tucking into a plate of duck and chips – apart, that is, from telling each other to 'shut up!'
Dance Tots
Nichola and her girlfriend Pamela are native New Zealanders who run a dance class for the under-eights in a village hall in middle England. Their dance instruction invariably disintegrates into a fight from which they have to naturally kiss and make up.
Trina & Jean
Two bored, seated attendants at a National Trust property who violently abuse each other out of sight of the visiting crowds.
Carol & Leslie-Marie
Carole longs for her charming adopted daughter Leslie-Marie to swap her A grades for ASBOS and dreams of an invitation to the Trisha Goddard Show. 'Help, she's got a knife!'
Melody Nation
Melody performs an impressive array of dance moves with her equally impressive, and somewhat laid-back, rabbit.
Singing Teachers
Gwyneth is a chain-smoking, world-weary and embittered singing teacher. Her keen young pupil Anita is desperate to get into musicals. But as Anita proudly performs her annoying nasal renditions of her favourite show tunes, Gwyneth's only concern is how to shut her up – for good. 'Let's have some fun with that now dear, shall we?'
Melanie, Colleen and Nathalie
Three urban girls discuss contemporary public figures. 'Mash it up, Mistah George Bush. You is out ave conchtrawl.'
Tressemme Godsend
A gospel-singing, bible-bashing water aerobics teacher who simply cannot practice what she preaches.
Stella the Market Thief
Scouse Stella will stoop to any level in order to grab freebies from her local market.
