Slightly delayed news from “The Stage” in the U.K.

BBC4 has confirmed the line-up for its Comedy Playhouse season, which will showcase four new productions under the banner Tight Spot.

Hugh Bonneville and Elizabeth McGovern star in Freezing, which looks at a married couple who were once both at the top of their professions in publishing and acting but are now forced to freelance – and spend more time together because of it. Alan Yentob, Joely Richardson and Richard E Grant also feature as special guests.

History Boys actor Samuel Anderson moves into television appearing alongside David Gillespie in Stuck. It looks at two advertising types at different points in their career forced to endure a car journey together.

Meanwhile in HR, Jonathan Pryce and Nicholas Le Prevost star as middle aged men battling the world of management consultants. The final production, entitled Lift, stars Douglas Hodge, Rasmus Hardiker and Nina Wadia.

Thanks to Sue W. for the news.
