Set to air in August, Buffering follows Iain (Iain Stirling), a children’s TV presenter with an aversion to kids and in an up and down relationship (mainly down) with TV producer Olivia (Elena Saurel - Around the World in 80 DaysKilling EveGold Digger).

Part of a generation who are told they must live the perfect life, these friends discover it’s not only ok but healthy to fail, over and over again.

Buffering is created and written by Iain Stirling with BBC New Comedy Award winning Steve Bugeja, while the director is Martin Stirling (Inside No. 9, The Mind of Herbert Clunkerdunk, Steen Raskopoulos's Horror: Scare BnB) and producer is Jane Bell (The Reluctant Landlord, Morgana Robinson's Dreamland, Beep). 

Buffering has been commissioned for ITV2 by Paul Mortimer, ITV's Head of Digital Channels and Acquisitions and Nana Hughes, ITV's Head of Scripted Comedy.  The 6 x 30” series is a Comedy 50:50 production with Eleanor Tiernan and Christine Robertson co-writing some episodes. Produced by Avalon and Executive Produced by Richard Allen-Turner and Jon Thoday.
