Comedian David O'Doherty is filming a new studio sitcom in front of a live audience entitled Stuck. He has both written it and stars in the episode being filmed next month, which is being made by Hat Trick Productions.

Stuck is set on board a ship which is stuck in the ice at the Antarctic. It's 1917, and a ship of fools has been wedged in the ice flow for nearly a year. Several captains have come and gone and now the task of getting the men home, or at least, keeping them in good spirits until the thaw comes, has fallen to Rory Sheridan. Sheridan is by his own admission, a man who knows nothing about shipping, but luckily by his side he had his trusted friend, and man of great shipping knowledge, Knopfler. In this pilot episode, the men's morale takes a downward spiral and the brutish bully Chef sees an opportunity to stoke a mutiny and become captain of the ship herself. It all comes down to a missing biscuit tin lid but Sheridan has no idea why!

It is being filmed at London Studios on the South Bank on July 3 at 7pm.
