Brand new Channel 4 comedy Big Age airs its first-ever instalment on Channel 4 this week \u2013 and RadioTimes.com<\/a> can reveal a first look clip of the pilot episode.<\/p>\n

The sitcom, which has been written by acclaimed author Bolu Babalola (Love in Colour), is airing as part of the Channel\u2019s Black to Front<\/a> initiative and tells the story of a group of four young Black-British friends who are in the \u2018big age\u2019 era of their lives.<\/p>

In the clip, we are introduced to best friends \u1e62ad\u00e9 (Ronk\u1eb9 Ad\u00e9kolu\u1eb9jo) and Dela (Racheal Ofori) as they embark on a day out for \u1e62ad\u00e9\u2019s 25th birthday \u2013 her \u2018big age\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI could totally be a catwalk model,\u201d \u1e62ad\u00e9 jokes as she struts her stuff on the top deck of a London bus, with Dela telling her, \u201cYou are radiating power and purpose, queen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u1e62ad\u00e9 then points out to the front cover of a magazine and says, \u201cYou know this is who I should be \u2013 Naima Jackson, iconic crossover between Nora Ephron and Naomi Campbell, Oscar-winning queen of directing, yearly belle at the Met Ball, writer of scripts and books, purveyor of looks, East London girl done good!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you know she has a line of dog corsets so she and her Shih Tzu can be bad b***hes at the same time?\u201d she adds, but before she can show Dela she receives a message from Zeke \u2013 her unrequited love. Check out the clip (which contains some strong language) in full below.<\/p>\n
