Social Snaps from the SKY1 HD Christmas Showcase

CHRIS O’DOWD TO WRITE & STAR IN NEW COMEDY MOONE BOY FOR SKY 1 HD
Filming to commence on 6 x 30’ episodes in January 2012

The Sky 1 HD Winter Showcase event took place yesterday at the Guinness Storehouse, highlighting the array of content viewers can expect to see over the coming months. At the event Sky announced a brand new comedy commission, MOONE BOY, from Chris O’Dowd (The I.T. Crowd, Bridesmaids). The six part series – adapted from O’Dowd’s own comedy short for Sky 1 HD last December, Little Crackers - is currently in production in Boyle, Co. Roscommon and Dublin, and will be broadcast on Sky 1 HD next summer.

The series, following O’Dowd’s early years growing up in Boyle, will cement the promise to increase Sky’s investment in original home-grown content by over 50% in the next three years. By 2014, Sky expects to invest €700 million a year in UK and Irish programming across its portfolio of channels. This commitment follows the success of home-grown content such as entertainment hits GOT TO DANCE and A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN, dramas MAD DOGS, STRIKE BACK and MARTINA COLE’S THE RUNAWAY, and the BAFTA-winning documentary FLYING MONSTERS 3D.

Chris O Dowd was in attendance at the event along with Sky 1’s Director Stuart Murphy, and Head of Comedy Lucy Lumsden, Got To Dance judge Ashley Banjo, Siobhan O’Connor, Dave Fanning, Noel Kelly, and Baz Ashmawy
