New sitcom Big Boys<\/a> stars Derry Girls<\/a> actor Dylan Llewellyn and is coming to Channel 4 later this month. Now, we have our first look at the series, thanks to a brand-new trailer.<\/p>\n

In the trailer, provided exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a>, we meet 19-year-old Jack (Llewellyn), described in the series synopsis as a \u201cdweeby, sheltered, closeted boy from Watford, trying to overcome his grief after his dad\u2019s passing and figure out what he wants in life.\u201d<\/p>\n

He takes up a scholarship at the local uni, where he meets the 25-year-old Danny (Jon Pointing), described as a \u201ctypical loud-and-proud lads\u2019 lad\u201d.<\/p>\n

You can check out the full trailer here.<\/p>\n\nThe series comes from comedian and writer Jack Rooke, who also narrates the show, and it is based on his award-winning live Edinburgh Fringe shows Good Grief, Happy Hour and Love Letters.<\/p>\nThe official synopsis says it is a \u201csilly, sweet comedy about two boys from very different ends of the \u2018spectrum of masculinity\u2019 who become best mates at Brent Uni freshers\u2019 week 2013\u201d.<\/p>\n<div class=\""image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--full=\"\" style=\""padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\"> <picture><source
