A six-part comedy series created, written and narrated by Jack Rooke, starring Dylan Llewellyn as a uni fresher, trying to find his tribe whilst still finding himself. Big Boys centres on an unlikely friendship between sweet, shy, closeted Jack (Dylan Llewellyn, Derry Girls) and boisterous, laddish and ever-so-slightly mature student Danny (Jon Pointing, Plebs).

​

Jack has spent the past year at home with his wonderful, potty-mouthed mum. He’s been grieving for his father and she for her husband, but the time has now come for him to take his place at the local uni. There he meets his roommate Danny as the pair are thrown together during Freshers week, watched over by an entirely over-enthusiastic Student Union head. Jack and Danny are at significantly different places on the spectrum of masculinity but closely bond during the inevitable chaos and frenzy of a first year.

Big Boys is based on comedy writer Jack Rooke’s award-winning live comedy shows 'Good Grief’, 'Happy Hour’ and ‘Love Letters’.

​

Big Boys has won a Broadcast Award for Best Comedy Drama Programme, and an RTS Award for Comedy Drama. It has alslo been nominated for a BAFTA.
