Feature film outfit Who’s On First will focus on producing mainstream comedies and dramas with transatlantic appeal.
Roughcut TV boss Ash Atalla and his former head of comedy Dan Hine have reunited to establish a comedy feature film company.
Who’s On First, which is backed by People Just Do Nothing indie Roughcut, will focus on producing mainstream comedy movies and comedy dramas with transatlantic appeal. Atalla and Hine plan to champion contemporary ideas which celebrate the humour and painful realities for living in a 21st century interconnected world.
The venture has secured funding from financing outfit Los Angles Media Fund (Lamf) for the development of its first feature, & Mrs. The project is a dark take on the wedding film genre – the story of a girl who decides to go ahead with her wedding ceremony despite the fact that the groom has just died. London-based Australian writer Melissa Bubnic (Shameless), is to pen the script.

This crass – sometimes inspired – comedy is blessed by the presence of Emma Fryer, a gifted comedienne whose promising 2009 sitcom Home Time was cruelly curtailed. Her deluded mobile-phone saleswoman, Janine, is trying to climb the Croydon social scene, while her equally deluded four male colleagues attempt a series of a calamitous sidelines, including escorting. Janine's catastrophic date with a socially awkward busker is a highlight, and Razz's deranged return is terrific.

ETonline has exclusively learned that Cheech Marin is headed back to television on TBS' Do It Yourself.
Photos - Hollywood's Hottest Women
The pilot, which is aiming for pick-up this fall, revolves around a laid-off math teacher forced into the blue-collar world when he gets a job at Home Time, a big-box home-supply store. His co-workers are played by Bill Engvall, Ryan McPartlin and Melora Hardin, who plays their boss.
Video - Watch A Big Bang Star Have The Last Laugh
On the show, Marin will play Perez, an offbeat Home Time employee who spends his days making keys and his nights preparing for the apocalypse (he's a survivalist).
Iconic for his role in 1978's Up In Smoke, Marin was previously a series regular on the short-lived series Rob and the very long-lived Nash Bridges.

Rory Gilmore could be heading back to our screens this fall. Alexis Bledel has been cast alongside Jason Ritter in Fox's new comedy pilot, "Friends & Family," based on the UK series "Gavin and Stacey."
According to Deadline, Bledel will play Stacey to Ritter's Gavin. If the pilot is picked up to series, it will focus on the important moments in the couple's relationship and the difficulties they encounter "while combining their polarizing families’ lives."
Interestingly, Ritter just completed a stint on "Parenthood," playing the fiance of Bledel's on-screen "Gilmore Girls" mom, Lauren Graham. Fast-talking brunettes are obviously his type.

Chuck alum Ryan McPartlin has been cast as in TBS’ comedy pilot Do It Yourself. James Widdoes is directing the multi-camera pilot written by Walt Becker and Rob Long. Do It Yourself tells the story of Nick, a 20-something laid-off math teacher who finds himself thrust into the blue collar world when he gets a job at that most American of retail institutions: the big box home supply store. McPartlin, repped by Evolution and ICM Partners, will play Tyler, a handsome Home Time employee who works in the paint department where he gives several paint demonstrations a week. The John Barrymore of paint, Tyler considers himself an actor and an artist, and really throws himself into his “shows.” Since his five-season stint on NBC’s Chuck as Captain Awesome, McPartlin appeared in Clint Eastwood’s J Edgar biopic and will next stars in the indie The Right Kind of Wrong.

TBS’ Do It Yourself pilot just got a little more awesome.
TVLine has learned that Ryan McPartlin, aka Chuck‘s Captain Awesome, is joining the cast as a series regular.
The multi-cam workplace comedy, from Walt Becker (Glory Daze) Rob Long (Sullivan & Son), focuses on a group of misfits working at a Home Depot-esque super store called Home Time.
Basically, it’s Buy More with cork flooring and dimmer switches instead of flatscreen TVs and iPads.

Time for King Jim?
With Martin Johnson’s grip on the throne looking increasingly fragile as the countless reviews into the failings of England’s World Cup gather speed, Northampton Saints boss Jim Mallinder is one of the first to throw his hat in the ring to succeed him should the opportunity arise.
With the Rfu in turmoil, the future of Martin Johnson seems to rest on the flipping of a coin, and more importantly who is doing the flipping.
With such uncertainty inevitably comes speculation, and the possibility of the Saints man taking the reins...

It’s time for the annual Rosewood Charity Fashion Show, which, even with the last-minute satanic tribute to Alison, is the least sinister annual Rosewoodian event we’ve ever seen. Remember the fun house with the bloody notes on the wall? Remember the scarecrows?
The Liars are folding programs and reminding us what happened at the end of the last episode — they watched a sex tape of their best friend projected onto a mausoleum in a graveyard in the middle of the night — then changing the subject to boyfriends and girlfriends. Hanna goes, “The person who killed our best friend might still be on the loose. Or, the person who killed our best friend and then definitely tried to kill Spencer and also recorded pervy videos of us since middle school is dead. So the chance one of us will be axe-murdered tonight is still pretty high. Hey, who’s...
