Sticks is a slice-of-life detective comedy series for BBC Comedy about Detective Inspector Plank and his bungling crew that includes Constable Witch, Constable Sergeant and Sergeant Constable. It has a unique design; most of the characters are drawn on coffee stirrers, but the series also features a yeti on a spatula, a zombie on a pastry baster, and an evil pencil sharpener.
The voices are supplied by a team of five voice actors including Shakespearian actor Sam Troughton (Robin Hood) who is currently appearing as Romeo at the RSC, Rachel Ferjani (Torchwood), David Holt (A Town Called Panic) and the series creators Myles and Greg McLeod.
The series was commissioned by BBC Comedy’s Martin Trickey and Simon Lupton. The series of 2 x 4 minute, 6 x 1 minute animations will appear on the BBC Comedy website and YouTube channel.
