After six episodes of Staged, David Tennant and Michael Sheen are still arguing about whose name should come first in the billing. It's going to take Dame Judi Dench to sort this out...and even then, David still isn't happy with her decision.

Staged sees David Tennant and Michael Sheen playing fictional versions themselves, where a play in which they were both starring has been postponed due to the coronavirus crisis. Their director (Simon Evans - also playing himself) knows how big a chance this is for him and turns his attention to cajoling his stars into rehearsing over the internet. All the actors need to do is read the first scene, but throughout the series they come up against a multitude of oppositional forces: distraction, boredom, home-schooling and their own egos.
Staged also stars Georgia Tennant, Lucy Eaton, Anna Lundberg
and Nina Sosanya, with some special guest stars. The series is based on an
original idea by Simon Evans and Phin Glynn and was written and directed by
Evans. The series is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
