Newark, Newark release date announced as Gold promises 'you won't want to miss this'

New sitcom Newark, Newark will hit the television screens later this month.

The first episode of the drama will be shown on Gold on Monday, March 28 from 9pm.

The TV station announced the show would continue on the following Tuesday and Wednesday.

Gold said in a tweet: "What a brilliant start to the week! Celebrating our brand new comedy Newark, Newark, with a special press screening. Starts in three weeks and believe us when we say, you’re not going to want to miss it."

Newark, Newark stars Beverley Callard, who played Liz McDonald in Coronation Street, and Burton Joyce-born Mathew Horne, who starred in Gavin and Stacey.

According to the show's description, Newark, Newark is set in the small, working-class market town and follows chip shop manager and 'exhausted matriarch', Maxine, as she tries to recover from her divorce and find someone else.

It continues: "However, it's easier said than done with her big-mouthed, soft-bellied, son, Leslie dramatically coming out as gay to the surprise of no one and her dullard ex-husband, Terry, trying ever more desperately to win her back."
