Gold TV sitcom Newark, Newark sneak peek ahead of airing this month

People are being granted a sneak peek of Gold's brand new sitcom Newark, Newark.

A series of photos of scenes in the comedy have been released ahead of its airing. A date has yet to be announced.

The gallery features Gavin & Stacey's Mathew Horne as Terry, Coronation Street's Beverley Callard as Pauline and Nina Wadia from EastEnders as Heather.

Newark, Newark is set in the small working class market town and follows pugnacious chip shop manager and exhausted matriarch Maxine (Morgana Robinson) as she tries to ride out her divorce and find someone who actually lights her fire.

However, it's easier said than done with her big-mouthed, soft-bellied, son, Leslie (Jai Hollis) dramatically coming out as gay to the surprise of no one and her dullard ex-husband Terry (Mathew Horne, trying ever more desperately to win her back.

There’s also her mother Pauline (Beverley Callard) who can’t help meddling with her love life.

With family and love at its core, Newark, Newark captures the goofy, sticky oddness of long English summers and the joyous, comforting and somewhat ridiculous things that go on in a small town.

Episode 1

It’s Maxine’s (Morgana Robinson) 40th birthday but her 16-year-old son Leslie (Jai Hollis) has big plans to hog the spotlight.

At a rainy English barbecue party, things go awry when some unwanted guests arrive.
