April 11 (UPI) -- Alison Steadman, John Cleese and Jason Watkins are set to star in a six-part comedy called Edith on the BBC.
"For Edith, life is pretty good. She's been a widow for some years now, but her children live locally and drop by regularly, and she enjoys daily visits from Phil, an old boyfriend who now lives across the road," the British broadcaster said in press notes.
