These Times

These Times is a British sitcom created by Tom Spoors. It follows a group of friends living in the Northern England countryside who often meet at McLaughlin's Tavern.

The series is yet to be produced and is instead exclusively written as screenplays.

Premise
Tyler McLaughlin, an extroverted and ambitious actor, moves into an unnamed town in the Northern England countryside to live with his uncle James McLaughlin, a grouchy, highly-sexual guy in his late 60's who owns a pub.

At this pub, Tyler befriends a group of regulars who's lives are all and continue to be intertwined. The group includes: Jonny King, Jonny's girlfriend Elise O'Brien, Jonny's best friend Shawn Lam, Elise's university roommate Nina Lowe, and Nina's best friend and current roommate Abi Davenport.

Characters

 * Jonny King, an egostical and immature former accountant who has no idea what to do next with his life, and so at the beginning of the series is working part-time towards a degree in education. He began dating Elise three years prior to the beginning of the series.
 * Tyler McLaughlin, an extroverted and ambitious actor who moves into the Northern England countryside at the beginning of the series. He is James' nephew and quickly becomes best friends with Jonny. At the end of the first season, he starts dating Abi.
 * Elise O'Brien, an aspiring therapist who acts as the voice of reason in the group. She has seemingly done every sport imaginable and is far more mature and intelligent than the rest of them. She began dating Jonny three years prior to the beginning of the series.
 * Abi Davenport, a punk, kind-hearted aspiring artist who at the beginning of the series works at the local corner shop. At the beginning of the series, she is Nina's roommate. At the end of the first season, she starts dating Tyler.
 * Shawn Lam, a sarcastic and socially awkward guy with no direction or aspirations in his life. He sees conversation as a tactical game and so has difficulty engaging with people.
 * Nina Lowe, a strongly-opinionated feminist with an over-bearing love for nature and the countryside. She works at a tourist shop for the local area and was Elise's university roommate.
 * James McLaughlin, a grouchy, widowed guy in his late 60's. He runs the pub McLaughlin's Tavern, which is the primary setting of the show. Due to not being able to get over his deceased wife, he has an incredibly high sex drive and often has many one night stands, but is incredibly sensible while doing so. He is Tyler's uncle.
