Channel 4 has announced three new comedy pilot commissions for 2014.
Flack, Catastrophe and Sit.com will join the channel's lineup next year, alongside several returning comedies.
Flack, which began filming this month, stars Sheridan Smith as a woman struggling to keep her life on track while dealing with the outrageous problems of her celebrity PR clients.
Twitter comedian Rob Delaney and Pulling actress Sharon Horgan co-wrote and will also star as the lead characters in Catastrophe, a comedy about an American man and an Irish woman who embark on a relationship in London and "make a bloody mess" along the way.
Written and directed by David Baddiel, Sit.com is billed as a traditional family sitcom with a twist. The comedy will take a look at the infiltration of technology into people's everyday lives.
Both Catastrophe and Sit.com will start filming in early 2014 and are produced by Avalon for Channel 4.
