BBC says 'I do' to wedding sitcom

BBC1 is to make a sitcom based around the stressful lead-up to a wedding.

Ben Miller, from double act Armstrong and Miller, will star as the groom, and Coupling's Sarah Alexander as the bride in Worst Week Of My Life.

Each of the seven episodes will cover a 24-hour period in the week before the big day, MediaGuardian reports.

BBC entertainment commissioner Jane Lush said: "It's just a catalogue of mishaps.

"All the worst nightmares and faux pas you can imagine with your in-laws befall him. The humour is very visual."

The show will be broadcast sometime next year.
