Synopsis

Jerk

This sitcom for BBC Three - a co-production between Primal Media and Roughcut TV - follows Tim Renkow, who has cerebral palsy, which means people judge him and his 'crumpled tissue' of a body. But usually they judge him wrongly - because what they don't realise is that inside that severely disabled, fragile body... is a bit of an asshole.

 

For his performance in Jerk, Tim Renkow was nominated in the Male Performance in a Comedy category at the 2022 BAFTA Awards. A third series was commissioned in 2022 and is currently in production.
