ThisisBigBrother.com - UK TV Forums - Green Wing/Smack the Pony creator has new show commissioned.

Quote:

Filming has started on writer Victoria Pile's first comedy project for Channel 4 since the Bafta-winning Green Wing.

Campus is set on the grounds of the fictional Kirke University and was commissioned as part of November's Comedy Showcase season.

Dead Set actor Andy Nyman plays ruthless vice chancellor Jonty De Wolfe and told the BBC the show "is very funny and treads a very fine line".

Campus is due to be screened early in 2011.

Speaking at the press night for new West End show Ghost Stories, Nyman said: "It's her vision and she has a brilliantly warped sideways sense of looking at things."

"Some of it is very odd," he added.

Victoria Pile won two international Emmy awards in the US for the hit sketch show Smack the Pony and followed this by picking up an audience-awarded Bafta for Green Wing in 2005.

The often surreal comedy - set in hospital - ran for two series and a special between 2004 and 2006.

sounds good. Loved Green Wing <3
