Craig Cash directs, produces and stars in Rovers, a brand-new original Sky 1 comedy that drops in on the lives of the indomitable fans of Redbridge Rovers – a struggling lower league football team. 

 

The series is written by comedians Joe Wilkinson (Him & Her, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown) and David Earl (aka Brian Gittins), who also make appearances in the series as wind-up merchants Bruce and Lee.

 

Cash plays loveable die-hard Rovers fan Pete Mott and is reunited with his The Royle Family co-star Sue Johnston, who plays Doreen – the slightly dotty club bar manager and de facto matriarch of the Redbridge community. 

 

The long-time screen partners are joined by a community of colourful characters, including Steve Speirs (Stella, Extras) as Tel, Pete’s best mate since childhood, and Seb Cardinal (Psychobitches, Cardinal Burns) as Tel’s trendy new love interest Mel. Diane Morgan (Weekly Wipe’s Philomena Cunk) also joins the stellar cast as the club’s resident vamp, Mandy.
