Discover what happens when dreams don’t come true as Will Mellor is forced to take over the family business in White Van Man when it arrives on DVD from 25th April 2011 courtesy of ITV Studios Home Entertainment.
White Van Man charts the story of Ollie (Will Mellor - Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, Casualty, Hollyoaks), a man whose dreams of owning a restaurant are ruined when his father Tony (Clive Mantle - Holby City, The Vicar of Dibley) suffers a heart attack and he is forced to take over the family business of white van driver - something that couldn’t be further away from his Michelin-starred dreams!
Adrian Poynton’s hilarious and touching sitcom follows Ollie’s rather chaotic life as he attempts to hold down his father’s fort despite a series of classic sitcom mishaps occurring, normally stirred up via his secret love for a fellow culinary student Emma (Georgia Moffat - Merlin, Casualty, Dr. Who) and his van man side-kick partner, Darren.
For anyone trapped in a job they hate, and for anyone who has ever stopped to consider the oddities in life, White Van Man mines a rich vein of comedy potential from everyday situations to the complicated world of disgruntled customers.
A sitcom with plenty of heart, White Van Man is also packed with popular talent both behind and in front of the camera, And with production affiliations with Doctor Who, Hotel Babylon and Shameless, a wealth of fans are sure to be keen for this very special delivery – just don’t hire a white van man to deliver it!
