Feel the Force is a brand new six-part comedy series starring Michelle Gomez and
Rosie Cavaliero.
Μύ
It will be filmed on location in Edinburgh from February 2006 and is part of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ TWO Winter season released today.
Μύ
Sally Frank (Rosie Cavaliero) and Sally Bobbins (Michelle Gomez) are two policewomen who are the Cagney and Lacey for the 21st century, but with worse hairstyles.
Μύ
They are the Dukes of Hazzard, but with car doors that open. They are Dalziel and Pascoe but with stupider surnames.
Μύ
Bobbins takes the job very seriously. She loves to flash her badge, talk in her walkie talkie and use her truncheon whenever possible.
Μύ
Frank is lazy and just tries to wing it. The combination of Frank's bluffing and Bobbins' misplaced confidence means they will try absolutely anything.
Μύ
Their boss is Sergeant Disley, a terrifying woman who hates Frank and Bobbins and thinks women shouldn't be allowed in the police force.
Μύ
Alan Tyler, Executive Producer and Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Scotland's Head of Comedy & Entertainment said today: "This is an exciting new project from Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Scotland for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ TWO, and we are delighted to be working with such high calibre talent both on and off the screen."
Μύ
Feel the Force is written by Georgia Pritchett (Smack the Pony, Have I Got News For You), directed by Tristram Shapeero (Green Wing, Peep Show) and produced by Catherine Bailey.
