It is written by Morwenna Banks, directed by Johnny Campbell and executive produced by Henry Normal. Banks stars as ex-rock star Marianne Hope who opened The Abbey as a retreat offering new age therapies, after her very public nervous breakdown. Omid Djalili plays The Abbey's owner Tony. Russell Brand is a DJ seemingly nonchalant about his crack cocaine addiction, who even has to resort to sticking a can a whipped cream up his nose to satisfy his addiction. Liz Smith plays a perverted pensioner with an addiction to sex. Tamsin Egerton plays a model with an eating disorder, who eats toilet roll in order to avoid hunger pangs. Miranda Hart plays the suicidal wife of a disgraced MP, obsessed with cleaning, cooking and being lovely to everyone in the most obtuse way! The show also stars Reece Shearsmith as a 'doctor' and counsellor and Marti Pellow as Marianne Banks estranged husband. The show was broadcast on 14 February 2007 on ITV and served as a pilot, with a view to a series if the one-off was popular enough. The episode gained an estimated 2.3 million viewers and somewhat poor reviews. ITV commissioned a full series of The Abbey for broadcast on ITV2 in 2008. Filming was due to begin in January 2008[1] but the series was later cancelled.[2] References1. ^{{cite news|first=Joanne|last=Oatts|title= ITV rehab comedy to get full series|url= http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/programming/a73183/itv-rehab-comedy-to-get-full-series.html|work= Digital Spy|date= 2007-08-22|accessdate= 2007-08-23}} 2. ^ITV drops Brand's comedy External links
