Bad Tidings cast: Full list of characters and actors in Sky comedy

Ahoy, fellow cinephiles! I’ve had the pleasure of traversing the seas of cinematic delights far and wide, but this festive season, I’m particularly looking forward to Bad Tidings, a comedic gem that promises to tickle our funny bones while keeping us warm during the cold winter nights.

This is the perfect time for abundant chuckles and holiday merriment, making it ideal for shows like Bad Tidings to grace our screens.

Last month, the trailer for the freshly revealed comedy series on Sky Originals was released, featuring comedians Chris McCausland and Lee Mack squaring off in a story about antagonistic neighbors, neighborhood criminal gangs, and the magic of Christmas.

In the latest movie, McCausland and Mack take on the roles of adversarial neighbors Scott and Neil. McCausland, along with Laurence Rickard and Martha Howe-Douglas, co-wrote Bad Tidings. This trio is part of the BAFTA-winning crew behind Ghosts and Horrible Histories.

In other words, it’s clear that this movie will have plenty of humor, but who else is part of the cast? Keep reading to learn more about the stars in the film Bad Tidings.

Chris McCausland as Scott

Who exactly is Scott? Despite being widely regarded as a brilliant individual by everyone in their neighborhood, his extended holiday decorations have been causing friction between him and Neil for over a year now. As he prepares to assume leadership of the Neighborhood Watch, it seems that he’s about to embark on quite an adventure with Neil, filled with Christmas-related chaos and conflict.

Have I encountered Chris McCausland in my film-watching escapades before? Indeed, this versatile performer has graced both the big and small screens with his comedic prowess. Known for his appearances on Me Too!, EastEnders, and The Wonders of the World I Can’t See, he recently danced his way to victory in Strictly Come Dancing’s latest season. Furthermore, McCausland has been a regular fixture on shows like Have I Got News for You, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Richard Osman’s House of Games, and Not Going Out.

Lee Mack as Neil

Who is Neil, one might ask? Well, it turns out that Neil has had his fair share of conflicts with neighbor Scott. On the eve before Christmas, in the midst of their ongoing feud, Neil ended up causing quite a scene by accidentally cutting off the electricity for the entire street. Little did they know, as they were stuck together on watch duty, a local gang was planning to burglarize each house in the neighborhood.

Have I encountered Lee Mack in any other shows apart from Not Going Out, The 1% Club, Brassic, Inside No. 9, Taskmaster, or Doctor Who?

Rebekah Staton as Stacey Brennan

Stacey belongs to the local criminal group planning a burglary on Scott and Neil’s entire street, when everyone goes away for Christmas.

Have you come across Rebekah Staton in any of these shows: The Following Events Are Based on a Pack of Lies, Pulling, Wallander, Home, Raised by Wolves or Doctor Who?

Sarah Alexander as Laura

Who is Laura? She is the spouse of Neil, one of the residents in the neighborhood who has to adjust her Christmas celebrations elsewhere due to a power outage caused by Neil cutting off the electricity in their area.

Have you recognized Sarah Alexander from any past roles? She’s best known for appearing in Green Wing, Armstrong and Miller, Jonathan Creek, and Marley’s Ghosts. Additionally, she’s been in Pennyworth, Father Brown, and The Worst Week of My Life.

Ben Crompton as ‘Big’ Barry Brennan

In my perspective as a movie critic, I’d rephrase it like this: “I find myself delving into the life of an individual who appears to be connected with a notoriously criminal family that has been eyeing properties on Neil and Scott’s street.

Have you recognized Ben Crompton from any previous roles? He’s best known for playing Eddison Tollett on Game of Thrones, but he also appeared in shows like Ideal, Motherland, All or Nothing, Clocking Off, and Lockwood & Co.
