Mel and Sue meet their match in Hitmen: Reloaded
In association with Sky.
AS YOU might have seen – and if you haven’t, you really, really should – Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins have been putting viewers in their comedy crosshairs again as unlikely contract killers in the second series of their Sky Original sitcom Hitmen.
Bringing their goofball charm and best mate vibes to the fine art of execution, the duo are giving it both barrels in Hitmen: Reloaded.
It sees them doing much better than expected as guns for hire with a showroom-fresh Mercedes van, a long list of marks supplied by a new client and plans to go international.
Not only are they getting plenty of target practice, their relationship is put to another kind of test.
They meet Kat, played by Katherine Parkinson, at an Eighties-themed school reunion disco. Kat, once the rather mousy sort that Jamie (Mel) and Fran (Sue) have trouble remembering, has transformed herself into a lifestyle guru, and has a whopping great mansion to go with it.
Trouble is, she has a love/hate thing for the girls (loving Jamie, hating Fran), and offers to put up the newly homeless Jamie in her country pile with the intention of spoiling her to the point she either dumps or simply forgets about Fran.
