About PhoneShop

The full PhoneShop gang

The high street is a dangerous battle zone. On the frontline are the brave soldiers of the PhoneShop sales floor.

After a hugely successful pilot as part of 4's Comedy Showcase season, PhoneShop makes its full series premiere on E4 on Thursday October 7th at 10pm.

On the mean, cut-throat UK high street, the priority is to 'shift units, make money, smash targets...' and no one knows that better than the staff of PhoneShop. But with top salesman Little Gary Patel back in jail, the staff's position as 'Kings of the High Street' may be in jeopardy for the first time.

Manager Lance has a secret weapon in the form of new recruit and graduate Christopher. But Lance’s young protégée looks more damp squib than battle-ready expert. It’s up to Ashley, Jerwayne and Janine - the elite Sales Professionals – to knock this eager-to-please, bag of nerves into shape.

Together it’s their job to make sure that every mug punter within five square miles gets locked down to the tightest and most expensive mobile phone contract known to mankind.

PhoneShop has been written, directed and produced by Phil Bowker (Pulling, Sean Lock's 15 Storeys High) with additional material written by Jon Macqueen and the cast. The show features a hugely-talented ensemble core cast, including Tom Bennett (Pulling, Eastenders), Andrew Brooke (Pulling, Cemetery Junction), Emma Fryer (Home Time, Ideal), Javone Prince (Horrible Histories) and Martin Trenaman (The Inbetweeners) with cameo support from Kayvan Novak (Fonejacker, Facejacker).

    This show is comedy gold. Great writing, great characters and great cast performances make for quotable scenes you want to see again and again. 2 series in and still tight, this one is a stayer. The best comedy on tv. End of.

    Thank you so much to the writer(s) of Phone Shop, the most excrutiatingly funny, innovative, clever, well acted comedy I have seen in years! The main character actors were all brillaint but so also were all of the peripheral characters. Perfection!
