Bill's Included

Rob Brydon to play awkward student landlord in new BBC sitcom Bill’s Included

Bill Beam (Brydon) isn’t your ideal uni housemate: he’s more into dusting than clubbing. He’s also desperate to be part of the gang, though, just as long as that gang keeps the noise down after 11.00pm. Between laminated house rules and colour-coded cutlery, his lodgers aren’t best-pleased with their living arrangement, except the rent, which is too cheap to refuse. Maybe a midlife crisis isn’t too dissimilar from a student identity crisis. Could everyone gel as a gang after all?
