The Many Wrongs of Lord Christian Brighty is the brand new live audience sitcom from Christian Brighty and Amy Greaves.

Inverting the familiar worlds of BBC Period Dramas, Jane Austen, Poldark and Bridgerton, The Many Wrongs Of Lord Christian Brighty follows a hedonistic Regency-era aristocrat (Christian Brighty) who has an epiphany and decides he must right all his many past wrongs, accompanied by his radical chambermaid Babs (Jessica Knappett) and very reluctant butler Churlington (Colin McFarlane). 

Lord Christian Brighty is the talk of the Regency Ton - a celebrated libertine, a heartthrob and a hero to many. But close-up, he is a spoiled, impetuous, life-ruining bastard… Or at least he was. Having had his carefree life of infinite privilege upended when his new chambermaid, the uneducated but forthright Babigail (Babs for short), tells him the unvarnished truth about his selfish behaviour. Overnight, his lifelong trust that everyone loved him, is replaced with the gnawing fear that Babs might be right. With his narcissism collapsing and a need to prove that he is actually a good person, Lord Brighty is determined to fix all his past wrongs and, by extension, all the ills of Regency Society. Accompanying him in his quest are Babs (elevated beyond her station to a chambermaid-cum-adviser) and his butler Churlington (who, like the rest of high society, would really prefer everything to stay exactly as it used to be).

The series takes the trope of the charming and untameable rake, turns him up to 11, and then forces him to confront just how morally bankrupt his existence is. It’s a show about entitlement, romance, and trying to become a better person when you’re desperately ill-equipped to do so.

Christian Brighty, Jessica Knappett and Colin McFarlane are joined by a fantastic ensemble cast of Chiara Goldsmith, Katia Kvinge, Joz Norris, Nimesha Odedra and David Reed – who also worked as Script Editor for the series.
