Down
to Earth re-commissioned for fourth series on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ ONE
Down
to Earth has been re-commissioned for a fourth run, following the
huge success of the current series.
Ian
Kelsey and Angela Griffin will return next winter as Matt and Frankie
Brewer, the out-of-towners getting to grips with the dramas and
difficulties of life in the country.
Jane
Tranter, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Controller of Drama Commissioning, says: "Down to Earth
is one of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s most consistently popular programmes, fast becoming
a Sunday evening fixture. Viewers have immediately warmed to Ian
Kelsey and Angela Griffin, their good humour and effortless chemistry.
I look forward to watching the Brewer family story evolve yet further."
In
the current series of Down to Earth, which is still showing on Sunday
evenings at 8.00pm on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ ONE, Kelsey plays Matt Brewer, a widower
with three children, Becky (Inga Brooksby), Lucy (Charlotte Redpath)
and Sam (Elliot Spencer-Keyse).
Matt
is remarried to Frankie and together the whole family decides to
leave London behind and start a new life of self-sufficiency in
Silverdale.
They
struggle against fate and weather to make Salad Days - their salad
and vegetable business - a success, but earning your living in the
country often has a habit of tripping you up in the pig muck.
The
fourth series will go into production in May.
