LOS ANGELES – “Colin from Accounts” started much like the Australian-based series.
Stars Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer, who are married, were dog-sitting while writing the comedy’s pilot.
“It had a name that wasn’t resonating for us,” Brammall says of the dog, “and so we called him ‘Colin from accounts.’”
The scene landed in the series’ first episode. “That ping-pong moment was kind of stolen from our life,” Dyer adds.
Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer star in “Colin from Accounts,” a new comedy which they both write.
Other scenes have had similar origins. The two characters – Gordon and Ashley – are unlikely romantic partners. He’s 12 years older. In real life, Brammall is, too.
But, “they make each other laugh,” Brammall says.
Because the two write the show’s episodes, they’ve hit on a routine that works well for them. In the first season, one wrote the odd episodes, the other wrote the even.
