FUNBOYS: This new comedy revolves around ‘emotionally-unassembled’ friends Callum (Ryan Dylan), Jordan (Rian Lennon) and Lorcan (Lee R James) trying to navigate young adulthood, 'from first girlfriends to dead pet pigs'. And tonight’s opener features a disastrous sexual escapade on a swan pedalo. The four-part series, set in small-town Northern Ireland, features Jamie Demetriou in a guest role. He said: ‘The Funboys pilot blew me away. Their dedication to making something genuinely funny and specific is deeply exciting and very rare.’ The show is being overseen by Simon Mayhew-Archer, the award-winning producer of This Country BBC One Northern Ireland and iPlayer, 11.10pm. Also on BBC Three at 9pm on Thursday.
