Rhys Thomas stars in Sirens, a new Comedy/Drama for Channel 4.

British Comedy Award winner Kayvan Novak (Four Lions, Fonejacker), Rhys Thomas (Bellamy's People, Beyond the Pole) and Richard Madden (Game of Thrones, Hope Springs) star as a team of world-weary paramedics forever forced to deal with humanity at its stupidest in Channel 4's Sirens. The six-part comedy drama series, created by Brian Fillis (The Curse of Steptoe, An Englishman in New York) and inspired by E.M.T paramedic Tom Reynolds' book, Blood, Sweat and Tea, will launch on Channel 4 in late June.To the outside world Stuart (Thomas), Ashley (Madden) and Rachid (Novak) look like angels of mercy; to their colleagues, they're a trio of pedantic know-alls; and to the career alcoholics and late night revelers on the swarming streets of Leeds, they're nothing more than glorified taxi drivers with one drop-off point - Accident & Emergency.Rhys Thomas, best known as spoof talk radio presenter Gary Bellamy on BBC2's Bellamy's People, plays Stuart. At the end of a shift, Stuart just wants to go home, lock the door and keep the other naked apes out. Those misanthropic tendencies are the source of ongoing friction with Maxine (Amy Beth Hayes -Misfits), a sergeant in the West Yorkshire police force and, to all intents and purposes, Stuart's only friend. Unbeknownst to her, and against his better judgment, Stuart secretly finds himself wanting to re-join the human race. To be with someone. But surely not Maxine?
